Operation Christmas Child Box Packed

Here is my first officially packed box for Operation Christmas Child! This is a box for a 5-9 year old boy. Here’s a quick rundown of what he will find inside:

coloring books
t shirt
puzzle
stuffed dog
story books
crayons, pens, pencils, sharpener, ruler
toothbrush, toothpaste
soap, washcloth
stickers
Thomas the Train whistle
small slinky, magnifying glass, spinning top and a couple small bouncy balls, yo-yo and small paddle ball, mini golf game toy
candy

And here’s a picture of it all packed in there:

This one is packed to the brim…I can’t squeeze another thing in their edgewise. Which is the way I like to pack my boxes. When I think about how this is the only gift a child may receive, possibly in their whole lifetime, I don’t want to skimp. I don’t want to leave empty space in the box.

I have two more boxes pack – stay tuned to see those. And once I can put my hands on a few more shoeboxes, I can divvy up the rest of my items. I may have all I need for my goal of 6 shoeboxes (maybe more!)

I hope you’ll consider couponing to OCC!
