Shanty of Misfit Toys (BR) The Shanty of Misfit Toys has semi-transparent walls which are
stuffed with discarded toys, which will act as insulation to the
shanty as well as decoration. The shanty will be used by families
visiting the Art Shanty Projects for diaper changes, bottle warming,
breastfeeding, play and community building.
