Art has the power to help heal. For hospitalized children, art can be a way to express their hope and joy. Visions of the holiday season created by patients at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA adorn the 2008 Holiday Card and Gift Tag special collections. A glamorous and glittering Barbie Holiday Card, created by Mattel Inc. Designers, is also offered. By purchasing a set of holiday cards, young patients at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA are helped in many ways. Proceeds from sales of these one-of-a-kind cards benefit the Child Life/Child Development Program, whose specialists work with hospitalized children to help ease their anxieties and fears.
The cards cost $20 for a set of 10. They are 5X7 inches and include white envelopes. The gift tags cost $5 for a set of 10 and measure 3 X 3 inches with a pre-punched hole for a ribbon.
