Toys for Sequim Kids will be held from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 16, at the Sequim Prairie Grange, 290 Macleay Road in Sequim.

Parents and guardians must show proof of Sequim School District residency, with only one adult allowed to enter the event, and no child care available.

Items include gift cards, brand name hoodies, make-up, headphones, Nerf guns, and video games.

For many children, Lego sets and Pokemon items remain popular too, Suta said.
