As they do each year, Canadian toy companies make generous donations to our toy drive.
Among our biggest supporters over the years are Scholastic Books and Klutz, the company that makes some great craft kits.
They’ve come up with some great categories to help get the right book for the right young reader.
There are books for kids who like hockey or who like magic and adventure; and books for children who like fairy tales. There's a kit for making clay charms for a charm bracelet too.
There are books by famous Canadian authors and perennial favourites like Captain Underpants and Star Wars.
All of these books and craft sets will be added to our Toy Mountain.
