You can actually put a regular size notebook or full size coloring book in those boxes. You stand up on the side along the edge and fold over. So you don’t have to spend quite so much on a smaller pad of paper just for it to fit. I got my coloring books at dollar tree. Paw patrol ones. I’ve gotten crayola coloring books as well there. The first few years I did them they were $60 a box. It was all the little things. But after a few years I cut it in half and chose really good things as well. I would get some basic school supplies since crayons are $.50 in August and several times that in November. Same with a basic notebook. Since the kids drive what goes it in and they don’t know money I would just go with it. It’s just a box per kid. There are hundreds of people filling OCC boxes on UA-cam to show you how to do the notebook.
Great shoeboxes! I love the wow items you chose. A couple of years ago I learned that it's ok to remove all the packaging from the items, which keeps the recipients from dealing with trash once they unpack their items, and also allows for more items to fit in the boxes. Awesome job! 😊
Se puede meter más, la caja de niña tiene mucho espacio sin aprovechar. En mi opinión faltan gomas de borrar, cuaderno, lápices de colores(a parte de las ceras que lleva) un estuche escolar y tal vez una mochila de cuerdas de las finitas que no ocupan nada. También pondría otra muñeca, una cuerda de saltar, cuaderno de colorear, un colgante o pulsera, un juego de tres en raya(por ejemplo) cortauñas, jabón. Todo lo que digo cabe, a parte de lo que has metido, si sacas las cosas de los envases y aprovechas cada centímetro. En la caja del niño aún cabe un cuaderno, un estuche escolar, una mochila de cuerdas, gomas de borrar (tu hija tenía razón, esas de los lápices se gastan pronto) canicas, linterna, cortauñas, jabón, pegatinas, llavero, mandalas... Aprovecha cada hueco y saca todo de los envases. Yo pongo todo eso en mis cajas(y mucho más) y aunque empleo un buen rato hasta encajarlo todo, lo consigo y las cajas van llenas hasta los topes.
Take everything out of the package. You will haveore room.
Smart to bring the assembled box to the store.
Aww, this was so sweet to watch! I love Penny's commentary and concert at the end too💕
Great job. You will make 2 kiddos very happy. 💙💜
Thank you!

Next time one washcloth is plenty. But you made it.
I miss doing with my church in Florida, were did you get your boxes?
We got the boxes from a local church. Where are you located?
In Roy Washington
I’m not familiar with them but Calvary Chapel of Tacoma is a drop off location in your area.
