Shoeboxes have been used for a
variety of reasons. I remember
scrounging for a shoebox to make my diorama project for a grade school history
project. Before the invention of plastic
boxes, shoeboxes held records of bills paid.
Old broken crayons, glue and scraps of papers found their way to a home
recently vacated by my new high tops.
Picture frames can be made from the lids. If you Google it, you can find even more uses
that I have not mentioned.
This week, I found another use for
shoe boxes in my daughter’s backpack. The
“Change the World Club” at her school is participating in the “Operation
Christmas Child” project. The
informational flyer sent home requested small objects that fit into a shoe
box. Things like school supplies (pens,
papers, crayons, etc…), Toys (small cars, ball, dolls, stuffed animals, musical
instruments etc…), Hygiene items, (toothbrush, toothpaste, washcloth), and
miscellaneous stuff (hairclips, toy jewelry, sunglasses, etc..). The cost to ship is $7 per box and the boxes
go to children in need for Christmas. It’s
a great idea for a Christmas charity project for your youth group.
