Sports Theme Box

Hey all... a while back I posted 2 princess theme boxes packed by my daughter... and told you I would do a boy's box next... so today I bring you a SPORTS BOX. This one is a no brainer of a theme... and I still have a couple items left to add but wanted to get it posted now.

As you can see... this box includes 2 balls (one foam football and one baseball, a slinky, a jumprope, a yo-yo, crayons, sports theme pencils, sports theme small totebag, sports theme notebook, pencil sharpener, toothbrush and toothpaste, washcloth, gloves, and tshirt. I want to still fit in candy, soap, maybe a baseball cap, and a small stuffed toy... and then it will be complete and VERY full. The tshirt is sized for a 5-9 boy but of course everything in this would be great for any age boy.

A sports theme box could also include a deflated soccer ball and small pump, small baseball glove, sports team jersey or other apparel, small flying disc, any type of ball, etc.

Although this box is for a boy... you COULD do a sports theme box for a girl as well!

It is all about fun and being active! I would love to see area sports' teams and athletic clubs get involved in packing boxes or donating supplies for boxes in the sports theme. What a blessing to the child that receives these items.

Theme boxes are soooo fun to do. I'm trying to do 100 boxes this year and it can pretty "same 'o, same 'o" and I want to avoid that. Thanks for sharing some of your themes to help get my creative juices going. I'm like you--quantities of quality items! Tho I do include some dollar items, I want to give things that will last for the children.

DROP OFF LOCATION

The Drop Off sites around the nation are now all closed.

If you already packed a shoebox you can mail it. Learn more at http://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/drop-off-locations/

Or if you learned about it too late this year, or time slipped away, you can still build a shoebox online at https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/buildonline/ The boxes built online can be more expensive, especially if you are a sale shopper BUT they have all approved items and can go anywhere in the world, including areas where there are many restrictions, such as Muslim nations. So please consider this option if you still want to do a box.

And it is NEVER too early to start shopping and crafting towards next years' boxes! There are still hundreds of millions of children around the world in desperate poverty and needing the love of Jesus.
