It’s almost that time of year again… Time to start thinking about Operation Christmas Child boxes!
Last year I went to the OCC distribution center in Charlotte, NC where we got to go through the boxes to make sure everything was good to go to the children in other countries. Not only did I get to help these boxes get sent off, but I got some great ideas for what other people pack in their boxes!
One of the things I saw last year was medicine bottle with nails inside along with a hammer. Such a smart idea to keep the nails together so the kids can have the ability to fix or build something when they receive their box. This idea got me thinking about other small kits I could put together to put in a shoe box.
The first kit idea is a fishing kit:
Empty Altoids Can
Fishing Line
Fishing Hook
Bait
Weights
Small Scissors
If you have room after everything else you’ve packed in the box, you can include a fishing net as well as an alternative to the fishing line.

Hurricane Reusable Water Balls: $11.85
These water balls are self-sealing. You don’t have to fumble around with tiny water balloons and your fingers won’t turn blue trying to tie them. The Hurricane water balls fill and seal with a quick seal. They have a durable, soft shell so you can use them again and again.

The Hydro Swirl features a hydro powered spinning dome on top with six wiggle tubes on the edge. The tubes wiggle and splash in all directions for lots of fun.
Hydro Twist Pipeline Sprinkler: $11.99
This is a supersized sprinkler so you can splash all over the yard. It’s 8 ft. long and the two hydro twists wiggle so your kids can spread out the fun.
American Plastic Toys Beach Basket Set: $16.34
This set is great for the littler kids. I wish I’d had this basket last time we went to the beach! They can use it to search for shells and build sand creations.
