I'd like to help some less fortunate kids with some fun/educational toys, books, etc.

Erector sets.
Also the "Where's Waldo?" books.

Gyroscopes are pretty cool. All kinds of things you can do with them that seem to defy gravity and physics. Just search out a good quality one.
Erector sets have been mentioned along with chemistry sets. Heck - why not a big set of Tinker Toys?

Same. We didn't have TV, so reading was our entertainment. I wore our set of encyclopedias out.

This and there was another 100-in-One kit. Sparked a life long passion for electronics almost 50 years ago.

I had one of these as a kid but don't remember liking any educational toys. It gave you math problems and you had to type in the answer.
