The West Gippsland Hospital has a few new fuzzy residents courtesy of the Probus Club of Drouin Hills.
The hand-knitted toys were donated to the hospital by members of the club to help young patients during their stay over the Christmas period.
Club members Sandra and Beryl dropped off the colourful delivery to paediatrics nurse unit manager Babymol Varkey, continuing their regular tradition of toy donations.
