Operation Christmas Child’s shoebox campaign in underway! The national collection week in November 14-21, 2011. You have 2+ weeks to plan and participate. Plenty of time! I am actually printing off the materials this week and planning to take J shopping over the weekend. Click on the link above to find out more.
This is something we started doing last year when J was two years old (you can see our experience here and the finished product here). **Those links include links to videos and music to help introduce to your kids.**
This is a wonderful way to help little ones practice giving. They can bring a shoebox to the store and fill it with fun (and useful) items. Bring it home, pack it up and drop it off at a pick up location near you. There’s even a tracking feature so you can find out where your box ended up.J loved this last year (the photos shown are from last year). We can’t wait to get started this year!
Thanks you reminded me and we were able to get a shoebox sent off!
Yeah! We love doing Shoeboxes each year.
Hi! I was trying to look for an email address and I could not find one. I may have missed it but do you mind leaving any email I could contact you through? (My email is greeneggsandmoms@gmail.com). Just wanted to ask you something about your Side Walk Chalk post.
Thanks,
Anne
