Need to Get Rid of Old Toys That Are in Good Condition.
My daughter has a bunch of old Barbies and Bratz dolls that she has outgrown and no longer plays with. She also has the houses and cars to go along with them. Most are in pretty good condition. I don't want to throw them away. Any suggestions on what I can do with all these dolls?

There has been care packages going to flood victims. i know Rockford just had 4 flights from Angel Flight going to Iowa yesterday and there were little kids donating toys to the children who lost everything. Check the internet for any other donation being taken.
If you would like to sell them you can place an ad in the Northwest Herald free of charge if the item(s) you are selling is selling for less than $100.
If you can hold on to it till the holidays there is always some organization looking for gentle used toys.
Check with local churchs who so mission trip frequently, they may be collected items such a toys to send or take to poor areas of this country as well as other countries.

I've found that Women's Horizons is a wonderful place because the kids usually have to leave everything behind. Another suggestion is local daycare centers. They go through alot of toys.

I really liked the idea of giving them to victims of the recent floods... but if you are still looking for other ways to give them away Freecycle.org is a wonderful website to help keep things out of the landfills and to do your part in being green! I have gotten rid of things from a popcorn maker, baby items, a Christmas tree and even a tuba this way! I have also been able to recieve some books and baby clothes from other FC-ers. Check it out!!
Have a blessed weekend!

Once Upon a Child will buy them from you. Or you could try to sell them on Craig's List. We've gotten a ton of toys for my daughter from both places.
