best japanese toys kids image

In teaching kids there is more to this world "than meets the eye?"
are these spiritual toys?.....are other 'conceptual' or fantasy toys teaching spiritual power?
Answer
i think a lot of Japanese anime and manga have the message that there's more to this world than meets the eye, so the toys based on those would carry that message. Actually now I think about it, it's a common message in cartoons - the whole superhero genre is about finding hidden strengths, so the toys carry that message through.

Me and my friends want to make plush toys for children affected by the Japan disaster. Where can we donate to?

Yeah we want to give these kids a friend to share their feelings with while they go through a hard time. We just don't know what or how.
Answer
Please, DON'T make plush toys for children in Japan. Please don't start gathering food, clothes, medicine, etc. Please, please don't. It is so much cheaper and more efficient for response agencies to buy and ship these items from surrounding areas that are MUCH closer than anywhere in the USA. Plus, it's better for agencies to buy these new, or to accept donations in bulk directly from manufacturers and retailers, rather than going through donations made by countless numbers of individuals, which are often filled with inappropriate items (if you doubt this, go look at the web sites of international aid agencies and see for yourself that they are NOT asking for donated items to send to Japan).
Please donate financially to the Japanese Red Cross
