Awesome Project Uses Stuffed Animals to Teach Kids About Organ Transplants

Over time our kids’ bedrooms begin to resemble a zoo, so extensive is their stuffed animal collection. Rather than tossing them in the donation bin, Japan’s Second Life Toys has clever idea. In hopes of raising awareness and teaching kids about organ donations and transplants, Second Life Toys gives new limbs to tired old dolls. Parts from the donor plushies are stitched onto another animal, giving the toys a new life.

Take a look at some of the “recipients” for some inspiration:
