Hello all,
The Children's Museum has been doing a few small Wikimedia donations lately, but the one I'm most excited about is this (small) batch of artifacts from our project *100 Toys (& their Stories) that Define Our Childhood*.[1] We had all the toys professionally photographed for the project, which ended up blowing us all away by going global and garnering 600 story submissions and 21,000 votes in a month's time. The project is not Wikipedia-focused, but I'm glad that at least a handful of these amazing images are able to make their way onto Commons as one small component of the overall 100 Toys project.
As I often say, a large portion of objects in our 120,000-object collection are not able to be put on Commons due to copyright and trademark restrictions. This is illustrated in the fact that only 9 objects of the 100 could be released to Commons, but I'm still glad for that, nonetheless:

Anybody up for a few minutes of (fun!) image distribution? : ) Or at least will you admire the beauty of these marbles along with me? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Childrens_Museum_of_Indianapolis...
Have a great day and thanks ahead of time if you're able to distribute any images, Lori
