I found some first time buys on Amazon Prime day-sunglasses, tic tac toe game in a pouch, Marval playschool heroes, flashlights, as well as some repeat buys. I have put those helicopters things in my Pencil packs for Pencil Granny and Friends-they fit so well.
Great haul! Those helicopter sticks are a great idea. I'm going to look for those. And i have the kelidoscopes on my wish list. Hope to get some soon😊TFS❤
I have bought those whistles for years and I use them for all 3 age groups. I wrap the string around the whistle and put them in an 2x3 jewelry baggie I get at Wal-Mart and they're ready to go! You found some great treasures, Annabeth !
Love the helicopters! I buy the whistles all the time. Just wrap the string around the whistle and tuck the string under. Great haul Anna Beth! Thanks for sharing! My haul is coming up!
Those black bracelets are great! I definitely think the older boys will like them. Maybe a station at the workshops can be wrapping the strings around the mouthpiece part of the whistles. That would help them from getting tangled. I also think the hand helicopters would be great to add in pencil packs. They would fit right in and not take any extra packaging
I totally agree with you on all counts! The whistles and the helicopters. I think I'm going to talk to the team about having people help wrap the string around them at the next workshop. 🥰
Thank you! We have a great team that helps keep things organized and I have fun sharing how we do everything and what we learn every year. There's always something new to learn!
I put my whistles in a small jewelry ziplock bag. I usually get the bags from Hobby Lobby. They are inexpensive. Those whistle strings can become a twisted mess without individual bags.
I admire your very organized system of workshops for occ. May i ask, how many people attend your church? And how many usually attend your packing party? Thank you
We have about 1,200 members but our ministry is relatively new and last year we had a little over 100 come to a packing party. What we do with the packing party we add on top of what the congregation does. Our congregation still packs their own shoe boxes we're trying to use our workshop to add to that number.
Some awesome choices! Lots of fun, colorful filler for OCC shoeboxes! ❤
Thanks Trish! ❤️
Great!!! Thanks for sharing! 😊 I am going to look up the helicopters etc. 🎉
I really enjoyed them and my kids like helping me put those together. Hope you like them too!
Love the Kaleidoscopes!! Thanks those are so affordable!!!
I really love sending kaleidoscopes!

Yes definitely try out the helicopter toys. My kids had so much fun putting those together with me and I think they're going to be great filler!

Sending Shoeboxes what size cellophane bag do you use to send the little hand helicopters in?
The ones I used were 2x9 bags I bought on amazon. I put the link to those bags in the description of the video if you need it 👍🏻
