Operation Christmas Child Shoebox ideas

well... I've been enjoying filling shoes boxes again and we tried a few different sorts of things, so here's a few ideas

-water bottle (you can stuff if with all sorts of things)
-quilt square (I had some extra put in a ziplock. never know what they could sew with those!)
- Flosers (we always remember to put in a toothbrush, but don't always remember floss)
- Paper Dolls  (they take up very little room, leaving more room for things they might need)
- little New Testament (I know they hand out stuff to the kids and present the Salvation message, but we're promised that His word will never return void)
- Sewing kit
-Pads for girls
-bandana
-flip-flops (some kids don't have anything for their feet!)
-underwear
-washcloth


some ideas I'd like to do and haven't yet
- knitting needles or crocheting hook with a ball of yarn or two
- plastic fork and spoon and CUP!
- skipping rope
- shoe laces (never know how handy those can be)
- sew cloth pads for girls that can be washed and reused

God Bless you as you fill your shoe boxes to bless others!
