Our Shoe Box

For the second year, we are participating in Operation Christmas Child.  This program provides shoe boxes filled with goodies to children around the world who are in need.

Each shoe box specifies the gender and age of the child who should receive it.  This year we chose to pack our box for a 5-9 year old girl.

Here's what we included:

Activity books, crayons, pencils, hygiene supplies, and a reindeer!

All packed up.
I like how it looks like the reindeer is hiding.

The finished box.

The bar code is scanned when the box reaches its final destination, so in a few months we'll know which country the child receiving our box lives in!
