I'm in the "if you don't enjoy it, don't do it" camp.
There's a book about organization and de-cluttering that I read a review of. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the book or the author. Basically, what I learned the review was that her approach is if it doesn't bring you joy, get rid of it. Give it away, donate it, sell it, throw it out, depending on what "it" is.
I've started using this theory and am already seeing results in my closet. Why do I keep things I don't wear? Yes, I spent money on them at some point, but if I no longer like them, and don't wear them any more, they are just in the way, even if they are perfectly good. So I donate them.
There is a forum for charities and donations, if you check over there you might find a group that would love to have something like this for a child. Locally, we have a Quilts for the Needy group that finishes all sorts of quilts, from utility to basic to no longer wanted. At Christmas, they are given to families who are in need.
