We are participating in Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child again this year through our church. For those that don't know, the mission of Operation Christmas Child is to provide children around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, school supplies and more as a means of reaching children in their communities with the Good News of Christ. They are shipped all over and our kids have a fun time picking out items for our boxes.
Our Boxes
This year we decided to fill 4 boxes - one for a young boy 5-9, a young girl 5-9, an older boy 10-14 and an older girl 10-14. It is our hope that these items really bless those that receive them and truly make a difference in their lives.
Here's our younger boy box.
It includes pencils and sharpener, small squishy balls, stickers, bandages, two combs, soap, washcloth that looks like a bear, notepad, crayons, toothbrush, hand waver, two jump frog toys, green ball, tsum tsum doll, soccer ball and pump, and 3D printed T-Rex.

My cousin use to this every year. I am going go check out. Thank you for the great description.
I always loved doing these.
Wow those are full boxes! What a special way to celebrate Christmas!
These are packed full of great things - perfect for kids. Our teen son wanted to do one this year but things got away from us and our church had already collected them. So I put it on the calendar to remember to do next year.
Whether you're looking to buy Christmas Squishmallows as a part of your holiday shopping list, or just want to surprise someone with an extra special present, there's no better way to make sure you get it right than with these adorable plushies.
