Queen Mary isn’t a normal mom, she’s a cool mom, which she proved with a playful, frilly blouse and wide-leg jeans for a visit to the LEGO charity. As part of her work with Mary Fonden—The Mary Foundation—Queen Mary makes an annual visit to the LEGO charity in Billund, Denmark to pack backpacks with essentials, clothing, and toys for children living in crisis shelters.
The brightly-colored backpacks and cheerful toys provide a moment of joy to children living in difficult circumstances. Queen Mary was on hand to personally back the backpacks and meet with volunteers. In a chic pair of Gucci glasses, Queen Mary packed stuffed animals, books, and boxes of Duplo into the green backpacks. “The backpack is both a practical aid for the children and an educational tool for the crisis center employees,” The Mary Foundation wrote on Instagram, explaining that volunteers use these toys ”in their dialogue and contact with the children” as play therapy tools.
