What is Little Lanterns?

Little Lanterns is a nonprofit organization that provides comforting sensory toys and essential therapy tool to babies, pediatrics and families in NICU and PICU units Nothern IL & Southern WI.

Who Does Our Mission Support?

We work directly with hospitals, early intervention providers, and families to understand what each child needs developmentally and emotionally. From there, we thoughtfully source, package, and deliver high-quality toys and sensory tools that support growth, healing, and comfort.

Do I have to be a doctor or therapist to receive help?

Not at all! Please reach out to us at info@littlelanternsil.org and we will work out a plan with you!

How can I donate?

You can donate directly through our website, contribute via our Amazon Wish List, or contact us to arrange a donation of gently used toys and comfort items.

What items does Little Lanterns accept for donation?

We accept new or like-new sensory toys, blankets, books, and comfort items suitable for babies and young children in hospital care.
