TOY + BOOK + CONNECTION
Along with an illustrated book and a toy, Kid Connections offers your child a chance to share with kids around the world. Fill the enclosed empty box with a toy of your own and watch it reach a community in need. Follow your package online and meet new friends. See the kind of difference one small gesture can make! Our Toy inspires your child to share, using play to change lives.
Our Goal
Kid Connections wants to promote values such as empathy and collaboration by creating a sense of one community under the sun.
