For children on your “nice” list this holiday, how about giving gifts that are twice as nice? We’ve partnered with PBS KIDS to offer presents — plush animals, wooden trucks, green toys race cars and wee wear — with a purpose. 100% of the net proceeds PBS KIDS receives from your purchase of these toys supports its mission: building knowledge, critical thinking, imagination and curiosity to empower children for success.
Plus, we’re donating 1% of total sales from these toys (up to $25,000) to Whole Kids Foundation® opens in a new tab, dedicated to helping kids eat better — and enjoy it!
