If you aren't familiar with Operation Christmas Child check it out here.The boys got to pack one box each for a boy some where in the world. I picked up most of the items for the boxes, but the boys got to pick out some candy and a toy for their box. The picking out of the toy took a REALLY long time! They wanted to pick out the best toy ever and kept changing their minds. I was a bit surprised, but after we brought the toys home (mainly cars) they totally understood that they weren't for them.
On Saturday morning we spread it all out on the table and the boys got to pick what went in to their box and try to fit it all in!
Each box is asked to have a $7 donation to help with shipping. If you donate that online you can track your box to see where it goes. The boys are hoping theirs go to Africa, but Isayas also thought South America would be good to!
A tip for next year...capitalize on the sales during back to school and pick up extra school supplies for your christmas box. I got several boxes of pencils, colored pencils, erasers, crayons for our box for pennies.
