How to Pack a Shoebox
1
Find a Shoebox
Start 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.
3
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
Most importantly, pray for the child who will receive your gift. You can also include a personal note and photo.
5
