Today at the Central Park Zoo’s Amphibian Room, Maggie Gyllenhaal teamed up with Fisher-Price to unveil the company’s new Precious Planet Collection of baby gear and newborn toys and to present and announce the company’s $250,000 donation benefiting the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), an organization that saves wildlife and wild places.
Before presenting the life-size check to Dr. Robert Cook of the WCS, Maggie said,
“Fisher-Price is such a big part of everyone’s childhood and I am so happy to join forces with them in presenting this generous donation in support of the Wildlife Conservation Society. I remember having one of those Fisher-Price tape players, listening to Cyndi Lauper, walking around my neighborhood. I think especially in New York City, in Brooklyn where I live, it’s important to encourage children to learn about and be a part of nature. It’s difficult to find that in the city. I know from my own childhood that my connection with nature has changed the way I look at the world. I think it’s important to show them how we can and how we must co-exist. They are learning to respect the planet.”

Fisher-Price continues to grow and expand its BabyGear line with the introduction of the colorful new Precious Planet Collection. This special collection includes a wide selection of baby gear including a high chair, gym, cradle swing, bouncer, jumperoo, potty, mobile, tub, bedding and more. The line also features comforting fabrics, activities and colorful, adorable baby animals like monkeys, giraffes and polar bears.
As far as Ramona getting into the acting business, it’s a no-go, says Maggie. “I don’t think children should be working,” the actress explains to OK! magazine. “It doesn’t make sense to me. But my child, when she grows up, can do whatever she wants. But not as a child, no. It’s fun to [say lines] once or twice, but then you have to do it ten more times and it’s work. I don’t think kids should be working.”
