We did 3 boxes for boys, one for each age group: 2-4yrs old, 5-9yrs old, and 10-14yrs old.
Here is the box for the 2-4 yr old:
The jump rope was a last minute addition...found for 9cents at a CVS clearance! |
Box for the boy in the 5-9 age group:
Just like with our girl boxes, I tried to make sure each child's box has something soft and cuddly in it along with school supplies and soap (double bagged) and toys. The older boy got a toy skateboard, same kind my own son likes to play with, and the skateboard pencils...same kind we bought our older son for school this year. I also packed a baggie of Legos for him.
I can't wait to track our boxes this year with Operation Christmas Child and find out what countries they go to!

I love the water bottles with the wash cloth inside. I always do plastic cups with wash cloths that I get after holidays at Walmart.
ReplyDeleteGreat boxes Tammy. I was thinking of adding Yo-Yos to the boxes for church this year.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I need to check out that clearance section at CVS next time ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the dinosaur stuffed animals that you found! Great stuff!
Yeah I couldn't believe that jump rope was 9 cents! Sometimes you can find great markdowns at CVS. I'm always on the lookout. Thanks for stopping by. :)
