Build Kids is a non-profit organization that provides plastic model kits and support to children undergoing treatment at children’s hospitals. Child patients need activities to help pass the time and cope with the treatments they are receiving during their hospital stays. Building plastic model kits is an activity that engages child patients and provides opportunities for child-life therapists to connect with the patients. In addition to providing model kits, Build Kids works directly with these hospitals to train hospital support staff in model kit construction.
