Girl Scouts Elizabeth Burson, Taylor Downard and Ruthie Smith explain their gift of 100 toys they made to Deputy Chris Johnston, right, at the Spokane Valley Police Station on Sept. 30. The girls raised more than 500 dollars, then bought the parts to make the toys, a kind of puzzle game with a clear tube filled with colored rice where the user juggles the contents to locate small objects concealed inside. They hope that police officers in Spokane Valley will use them to distract children caught up in traumatic situations.
