When packing your box(es), remember to include a variety of items. For the child receiving your box, the new notebook and pencils you include can be just as much of a gift to them as the little doll you packed too. Below are a few categories of items to think about including in your box.
TOYS
Toys are always a sure way to put a smile a child's face. Small cars and balls are a good idea for boys and for girls dolls and jump ropes are great. Small musical instruments like harmonicas and flashlights(with extra batteries) are also fun to include in boxes for any child.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES
School supplies like pens, pencils and sharpener, crayons or markers, stamps and ink pad sets, writing pads or paper, solar calculators, and coloring and picture books are always popular with kids.
HYGIENE ITEMS
For many children receiving an OCC box, what we consider basic necessities is a gift to them. Be sure to include items like a toothbrush, toothpaste, mild bar soap (in a plastic bag), comb, washcloth, etc.
OTHER
Items like hard candy, lollipops, mints and gum are also nice to send in your box. Just remember not to send anything that can melt and to double bag all candy. Clothing items like T-shirts, socks, and ball caps; and accessories such as sunglasses, hair clips, toy jewelry, and watches can also be included.
