To whom should I donate a lot of used toys?

I have a crazy aunt who sends my daughter more random toys than she could ever possibly appreciate. My aunt does this because she has too much time and money and not enough substance in her own life. Even though I have asked her to stop, she persists because she thinks that it is funny. Most recently, she has taken to buying up large lots of Barbie dolls (newer worthless ones), barbie furniture, and barbie clothes and sending them to me by the boxful. While I am appreciative, I am also disturbed because I do not want my child to think that she can just have everything. I would like to donate these things to a charity that would find them useful or enjoyable as I simply do not have the space (or, frankly, the need) to keep them.

I would like some suggestions as to the type of place I might look to give these away without also passing along their not-insignificant annoyance factor.

Thank you for your help.

I WILL choose a best answer.

Update:

Thank you so far for all of your answers. I should probably note that these are NOT new...or even just gently used. They were probably purchased in bulk lots on ebay. So they are not actually worth anything.

    if the extra cutting-edge barbies are fairytopia/mermaidia then you definately ought to sell them on ebay. i purchase those there and that they constantly have a large form of bidders. you ought to apply the funds to initiate or upload to a have confidence or college fund. yet once you're ok off and haven't any use for extra funds then i'm going to easily 2nd the 1st answer. maximum toy drives i see are for brand spanking new toys in basic terms.
