How to Pack a Shoebox
1
Find a Shoebox
Start with a shoebox about the size of an A4 piece of paper. If you want to wrap it, cover the box and lid separately.
If you can’t find a shoebox this size, order a preprinted shoebox.
2
Girl or Boy?
Decide whether you will pack a box for a girl or a boy, and the age category: 2–4, 5–9, or 10–14.

Fill with Gifts
Select a medium to large “wow” item such as a soccer ball with pump or stuffed animal, then fill with other fun toys, hygiene items and school supplies.
Or download and print our list of suggested gifts.

Pray
