When it was all said and done, we ended up sending 5 Operation Christmas Child Boxes. These little shoe box sized gifts go to other countries to children in need as a Christmas gift just for the,. I am a big fan of the project and have done it each year since Jayden was old enough to help. We stuff those little boxes as full as we can with items such as toothbrush, toothpaste, colors, markers, coloring books, balls, toys, hats,and hard candies, and anything else we can squeeze. The kids get in on this tradition in learning to give is better than to receive.
