Operation Christmas Child Suggestions

We are so excited to sponsor Operation Christmas Child boxes through Samaritan's Purse again this year.  Our school coordinator, Marlene Kehrer, has done a fabulous job organizing this endeavor.  We have watched informative videos during weekly chapel services, set a goal for how many boxes to fill and plan to have a celebration on November 16 when the boxes are turned back in to the school.

If you have never packed a box before, or need some new ideas, here is a list to consider:

$7 per box for shipping (we pay for ours online so we can track where it goes!)
small toys -bouncy balls, yo-yos, jacks,
matchbox cars
jump rope
sidewalk chalk
hard candy (double bagged in ziploc bags)
toothbrush
toothpaste
soap (double bagged)
washcloth
hair barettes, rubber bands, headbands
socks
t-shirt
flip flops
kazoos
harmonica
small paper pad
colored pencils
pencils/pens/erasers
hi-liters
sewing kit
fishing kit with hooks and fishing line
small flashlight (solar powered)
deck of cards
travel size games
small barbie doll/clothes
