Free: Band-in-box (for preschool age?) (Falls Church/Mclean area) Gifted These instruments are squeezed into a 16-quart plastic bin. Includes a little zither that lacks half its strings, an echo mic, and an assortment of percussion instruments/implements: tambourines, maracas, a nice-sounding triangle, and more! Call dibs and start making music together.

Free: Whistles & Kazoos - all plastic (Falls Church/Mclean area) Seven plastic kazoos ranging from little kid party-favor leftovers to decent quality, plus a range of 15 plastic whistles are waiting to be claimed. Not just fun (and loud and annoying), both can also be used as speech therapy aids to practice breath and voice box control. for example… letter “s” = whistle letter “z” = kazoo Any speech therapists or speech therapy parents out there? People who like these fun toys? I’ll wait a bit before I list them as claimed.

Free: Board Games …. to a teacher? (Falls Church/Mclean area) Gifted Offer: a few dozen lightly-used board games - too many to list. Most are appropriate for ages 7-adult. A few are younger; a few start older. Some duplicates. A few puzzles, too. I am hoping a new teacher or a teacher in a Title I school is ISO indoor-recess supplies. I can split into two batches if there are enough responders. OR…. if someone will recommend such a school that you know will accept them, I can deliver in NoVa. I’ll wait at least a week before picking a recipient, so make your case.

Request: Small (9” - 10”) color CRT TV (Falls Church/Mclean area) Withdrawn Hi, we’re looking for a small—but not tiny—color CRT television for old-school video games in a dorm room. The 5” we tried was cute, but too small, and the 13” is bordering on too bulky to just pick up and stow while not in use. Way back in the day, this was a popular size tube-TV to put in kitchens or RVs. Is there one collecting dust in your basement or attic?

Free: Men’s waist-wrap bath towel (Falls Church/Mclean area) Promised It’s white “one size” and there’s Velcro to secure it around the waist to make a young (or older) man sorta presentable after his shower or bath. Was a gift to a college freshman who preferred a robe. Bag is open, but the towel has never been removed. I will wait a few days or until a few folks have responded. If have a college-move-in deadline, please let me know.

Request: Mini Portable CRT TV (5”-9” screen) (Falls Church/Mclean area) Withdrawn I’m looking for a mini-TV analog — not a newer flat screens. We need it to be smaller than the typical small (13” diagonal screen) units, and it needs to have AV input jacks—those are round and usually white and yellow. Thank You in advance. I’m in the Falls Church/Mclean area, near Longfellow Middle School. I can see a group of dads at a barbecue huddled around one of these little battery-operated TVs.
