DT in my area have decks of playing cards in a double pack for $1.25. Both kids and adults like card games so the child can get years of enjoyment from them. I got several to send as filler. This was a good challenge. Very informative!
Love the Dino theme. Please read reviews on the DT flip flops. Many find a better deal at Old Navy clearance. Great job on socks. Enjoyed the video and your theme to show people that are going to purchase a box one time at DT, that good items are possible. Thanks for encouraging and sharing.
Thank you! 😊 That's good to know, I'm always trying to improve my boxes. I will look for Old Navy deals, the Walmart brand has held up well on my own children's feet too! 😄
Yes I actually sometimes use the DT flip flops as shower shoes to test out for the boxes and they are pretty bad. They rip and are very uncomfortable. So Walmart or Old Navy are much better.
I loved the dinosaur notebooks! I appreciated seeing the results of the challenge, sitting in the boxes... and I am glad you are putting in a few more items from your stash.
Thank you! You are right, I didn't show that but I added a toothbrush, wash cloth, and some other essentials at the end. ❤ This was just to see how I could do if I only had a certain amount to spend at the Dollar Tree, but all my Shoeboxes get a toothbrush and wash cloth. 😊 I'm phasing out soap as Samaritan's Purse has mentioned they may be adding it to the do not send list next year.
Hi Deborah! Yes I usually put in a toothbrush and pencil pack in every box. I have also packed backpacks and bar soap, but I've heard that bar soap can cause issues with customs for different countries so I haven't been sending it this year.
@KellysKidz hi, where did you hear that bar of soaps were an issue? I know that liquids for sure, but I am not sure about the bar of soap... reason why I am asking is because we put soap in each box.

Thanks so much! I thought the notebooks were really nice, too! 😊
❤❤❤
What a good idea!!! I love the comparison here. You can definitely save getting multiples at dollar tree if you can’t shop year round!
Thank you! ❤😊 I had fun testing it out and it is amazing how much more you can fit by buying in bulk!
Nice job but it needs a toothbrush and soap and washcloth :)

@@KellysKidz awesome!!!
Great job! Very helpful for those who don’t shop year round like we all do!
Thank you! I love your Channel name ... Blessed and OCC Obsessed! 🥰😊
Do you ever put in a back pack, toothbrush, pencil pack and bar soap?
Hi Deborah! Yes I usually put in a toothbrush and pencil pack in every box. I have also packed backpacks and bar soap, but I've heard that bar soap can cause issues with customs for different countries so I haven't been sending it this year.

I like the dino notebooks. Thanks for the video.
I was excited when I found those notebooks! 😊🦖 Thank you!
The first box packed, it looks like the notebook is too big to fit into the box? Will you bend it to make it fit?
Hi Nancy! Great question! Yep, I can gently fold it over the top of the items and close the lid without creasing it.
Thank you and God bless you for sharing Kelly's Kidz. What age groups are the boxes for?
Thank you 🩷 they're for the 10-14 year old boys 😊
I want to know where are you donation this shoe box. I would love to do something like that.

I don’t think it’s right to make copies of the drawing book, I’m sure it’s copyright and that would be ethically wrong.
I honestly didn't think of that. Thank you for that input. I'll remove the copies and see if I can find something on the Internet that is free. ❤
I think copies are allowed as long as you are not selling the copies
