Ms. Rachel and husband Aron Accurso just made some unforgettable memories for a Make-A-Wish child.

On Saturday, Jan. 11, the Children’s Museum of Manhattan (CMOM) shared a post that showed the YouTube star, 42, and Accurso exploring the New York City museum with the kid. Make-A-Wish, a nonprofit that grants wishes of children diagnosed with critical illnesses, is tagged in the post.

“Recently we had the absolute joy of welcoming @msrachelforlittles, @aronaccurso, and their friend from @makeawishamerica to explore and play through CMOM,” the museum wrote in the caption. “Watching their laughter and excitement reminds us of the magic that happens when kids are free to learn, discover, and just be kids.”

“We are so grateful to be part of moments like these and to work alongside Ms. Rachel, Aron, and organizations like Make-A-Wish that create unforgettable memories for children and their families. Here’s to many more smiles, laughter, and adventures to come! 💛✨,” CMOM concluded.

In the second slide, Ms. Rachel gets in touch with her inner child as she pretends to shop in a makeshift grocery store complete with a toy basket and plastic vegetables as she teaches the little boy, who is now wearing a firefighter hat, how to scan at the checkout counter.

And finally, the couple recorded a message just for the museum. “Thank you so much to CMOM for always having us for Make-A-Wish,” Ms. Rachel said, with her husband adding, “And for supporting all the children in this community.”

Bringing joy to children is nothing new for Ms Rachel. Aside from her popular YouTube series, she also partnered with SpinMaster and Melissa & Doug to create a line of toys.

While speaking with Parents in August, Rachel said that she wanted to prioritize toys that could age up with kids so they're able to play with them for an extended period of time.

"Something that grows with a child; something they're not going to play with for two days and then not want to play with anymore," Rachel told the outlet. "Something that inspires imagination and creativity; something that you can use in multiple ways."

"I love Play-Doh, kinetic sand, things that kids can be creative with, and it never gets old, just like classic, toy dolls," she continued. "Dolls are so wonderful. You can do so much with a doll."

Rachel’s toy line, which became available in September, features 10 toys that span across multiple different play experiences, including blocks, plushies, puzzles and a rattle.

The toy line , which she designed, aims to support little ones through different developmental stages, from 3 months to 3+ years, and feature songs, characters and themes from their Songs for Littles videos.

"It's so important to me that the toys be affordable, and they're very open-ended. They can grow with the child," Accurso said. "We always want everything with Ms. Rachel to be beneficial, and that's one of the whys we go back to, like is this helpful for children? Is it going to inspire learning and creativity?"
