GUIDELINES FOR STUFFED ANIMALS 

It is extremely important that all stuffed animals which Project Smile distributes to police officers are in excellent condition, as they will be given to children who have been involved in highly traumatic incidents. While many children have a large quantity of stuffed animals in their home, some of them may not be appropriate to donate. Please take a few minutes and sort through the stuffed animals. The following are general guidelines to help:

• Size. Due to the size limitations in the police cruisers please no stuffed animals over 21 inches.

• Condition. Absolutely no stains or smells from pets, smoke, dust, etc. Please check the stuffed animals for tears, discoloration and worn, pilled or damaged clothing. Please do not wash the stuffed animals or attempt to repair them.

• Battery compartments. We can not accept stuffed animals that have battery compartments.

• No stuffed animals that make noises- such as singing, reciting prayers, etc.

• No commemorative stuffed animals that have years sewn on them.  

• Please do not remove the tags.
