How to fill a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child

do you fill shoeboxes?

if you have never filled a shoebox we would love for you to join our family this year!

i am going to do a series of posts that show how and why we fill our shoeboxes.

but hear this:  they need to be ready for your local drop off  NOVEMBER 14-21!

for all the information right from the organization checkout and save the following website:

SAMARITAN’S PURSE
we are filling five shoeboxes with toys, candy and toiletries to be sent to children around the world.
this has been such a great way to prepare our hearts as we head into the season of Christmas.
to fill a shoebox you need:
1.  a standard size shoebox or small plastic container similar in size
2.  decide if you want to fill a shoebox for a boy or a girl
3.  choose an age range 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14
go out with your children and start choosing small items that fit the criteria.
some of the items we’ve purchased so far:
socks
combs
stickers
small ball
jump rope
individually wrapped hard candy 
hair clips
toothbrush/toothpaste 
crayons
markers
pad of paper
some items we have yet to purchase:
small cars and trucks
small dolls
tshirts
we’re just getting started so there is plenty of time!  will you join us??  
“go, fill a shoebox!”

Our boy’s bunkbeds were custom made from a picture I tore out of a magazine. Unfortunately, there are no drawn up plans I can share.
