I am in a Community Service Club in School, and in this Saturday, we will go visit disable children in the hospital. Those who stay in bed and have diseases. I have a choice to bring a Christmas gift, and I need an idea. Would a stuff animal be good? Or a good movie? any ideas?

Good Ideas. Just remember, they can't get out of their bed that much. Something simple yet fun for them to enjoy so they won't have to spend time thinking about their diseases

Arts & Crafts like coloring books, crayons, beads'n string.
Movies are good.. maybe a new release.
Stuffed animals I would stay away from as they can carry ddust and mites.
Good luck

You have to be careful with some computer like games. You need to make sure (Ask someone at the hospital) that they won't interfere wtih heart monitors. Go to your local $ store. My family puts together baskets for Children's Hosp in Seattle every year because my son and my niece both went there right after they were born...my niece for about a month with heart surgery at 13 days old and my son was born 11 weeks early so he was there for 10 weeks. There are so many kids that are stuck in the hospital over the holidays. One thing I am adding to the baskets this year is Crayola Mess free markers or the new Mess free Sprayer. The markers are great because they only color on the special paper, not on fabric, like clothes or bed blankets.

enable me ask you something... in case you've been waiting to pick no matter in the adventure that your daughter became common or if she had cerebral palsy, which may you pick? ... i imagine maximum folk would pick their baby to haven't any disability. Even you experience disenchanted once you talked about her warfare by the disability and struggle through. Its surely no longer a reliable element. i will respect that you nevertheless love your baby, and that i imagine you're being a reliable mom by helping her alongside, yet i'd say her disability isn't reliable for her. the youngster is a blessing, although the disability is the curse she has to undergo.

digital camera... here's why... they cannot get out of their beds but others can take pictures for them of the things that they are interested in seeing. they can also take pictures and create their own photo journals. you would be suprised how much a child with disabilities love to have a camera... i am the parent of a disabled child and also a photographer... do i need to explain how i got the idea?

Well it depends on their disability. I'd chose a learning toy, it would keep them occupied whilest in the hospital. Like a leap pad or something.

Art supplies, like crayons, markers, coloring books and drawing paper. Also they have kits that teach you how to make bracelets as well as ones that will show you how to knit. These look like fun and they aren't that expensive.
