I could have sworn that during our year-and-a-half living in Zürich so far that we'd tried not to buy too much junk! Well, we didn't do such a fantastic job of it. I was just down in the basement assessing the tower of boxes of old toys (which trickled down there little by little to make way for new toys), and it looks like I've got some work ahead of me to prepare for our move.
I feel like some of this stuff doesn't deserve to be schlepped to our new apartment -- just to be stored in the basement there. Particularly our collection of duplo-Legos, now that we've graduated to the 6-to-adult-sized Legos. I wonder if there are any charities around here that accept used toys...

I'm curious, what did you find? We usually do Goodwill, or the PTA thrift shop, but there is also a shelter for at risk women who are leaving their husbands that takes good toys...
Hey Mathmom!!!
That's cool -- that's the sort of thing I'm looking for. My main problem is that I don't speak German and I don't have a local's knowledge of what sorts of organizations to look for.
At least the Duplos are spoken for. After reading this post, one of my cousins wrote me and requested them for his child. So I'll be putting them in the mail as soon as I'm sure I've found all of them. :D
