I did shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child last year, planning to do the same this year (unless anyone can recommend another scheme or tells me how evil they are - am not religious but aware of the religious aspect). My aim is to teach my two young DCs about giving to others.
I thought we could share tips on good "finds".
Last year I found cheap packs of toothbrushes in Poundland, felt tip pens for 20p in Tesco (value range) and am luckily close to a branch of Tiger for all kinds of fab odds and ends - hair bands, etc. I remember finding a fab bouncy ball that was also a mini-globe for £1. Found some Ladybird books that were World Atlases from one of those bargain book places.
Need to do a box for a young boy and a young girl. Age 1-4 years.
Come and share your ideas (please!). I will share any good finds I have.
