This is not directly a craft, but a reminder and suggestion list for the holidays to give to someone in need, whether it's someone you know, don't know, or even dislike-
if that's the way you feel, kook.
One of my favorites is
Toys for Tots, sponsored by the Marine Corps. In Cocoa Beach, they're also collecting for a local Toy Drive over at Juice and Java near the front entrance facing A1A.

| Juice and Java's toy donation box- only put stuff in, it's not a grab bag, mmmkay? |
It's really a blast to shop for a toy for others, and if you have kids of your own, have them help picking out a toy. My toys will be beach and ocean themed, of course! You don't have to spend a fortune, and even one small toy can make a difference. Unfortunately, they don't let you make the toys (grrrrr....), but there's a lot of reasonably priced toys out there.
CraftySurf's Toy Donation Suggestion List
for the Ocean Minded
Small bodyboard
Ocean creature stuffed toy
Lego (or whatever brand) boat kit
Play dough!
Squirt toys
Dolls dressed for the beach
Fishing games
Sea Life picture puzzle
Sand castle building toys
Ocean themed coloring books
Just remember to keep the toys unwrapped, but in the original packaging. For me, this is the best part of the season- imparting my love of the ocean and crafts on unsuspecting kids....bwaaahahaha!!
