What to do with old stuffed animals?

I work at a thrift shop in a small town. We have 3 boxes of old stuffed animals that are just taking up space. We've debated throwing them away (They aren't ruined, they are just old and definately played with in their lifetime) but I wanted to see if maybe there's something else we could do with them. We already give some of the better ones we don't want to the local hospital and shelter, to the point they don't want more. Any other ideas?

1. At this time of the year, it would be a good idea to give them to orginizations that cater to the children of the lessor god.
2. Try putting them on free cycle, and give them to someone in need.
3. Special olympics used to take them here in Alaska, and they give them out as prizes. I'm sure a charity would accept them. I collect stuffed animals, so no trash, please!
4. take the stuffing out and get a bunch of kids and do arts and crafts by making creative pillows
5. sell them on ebay. I'm sure there is someone out there who is a crazy collector. Rip them up, that's always fun. Make a huge pit and tthrow all the animals in it. Then jump in the pit.
6. Here's what I used to do with mine. Repair them if necessary, clean them, and donate them to a women's shelter or orphanage.
