Where to donate soft toys and books?

Does anyone know where I can donate some soft toys and children's and pre-teen books? I don't just want them to be sold at a charity shop, but rather give them where they'll be used.

    I gave all mine to Salvation Army, what they don't or can't sell go to families in need, SVP do similar work also.

    Hospitals can no longer take them due to infection control issues, but you could try a local children's home ?
    I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:

    Are there such things as children's homes nowadays? I don't know of any.
