I always find it so silly when people get upset about boys playing with baby dolls. Don’t you want them to grow up to be good fathers? I love the geoboard! We even use them in the middle school classes that I teach!
WOW!! I learned a lot for future boxes. All of these FUN items are not only fun but educational for these kids! Great Box Denise! I have one of those dolls in my cart in hopes it will go on sale. It’s so adorable!
What you said about the little boys and dolls is so true! As a parent, it’s refreshing to hear that from an experienced preschool teacher. The colors in this box are so bright and cheerful! I love the backpack ❤
I love how colorful and fun this box is! I enjoyed hearing all about when you were a preschool teacher and your inspiration for each item. I love the backpack and the set of blocks! This box will be such a blessing to the child who receives it!
Thank you Susannamarie! I was so excited to find that colorful backpack in my stash! Sometimes I forget I have things until I go shopping in my basement! 😂 And thank you for your comment. I miss my preschool days. It didn’t pay much but was so rewarding. 💕
I love how colorful, developmentally appropriate, and fun this box is. It is interesting to hear about your experiences teaching and I can see how you bring that to the table (Retired 3rd and 4th Grade teacher here)!! 💗✝️
Ahhhhh another teacher. Bless you! My daughter is a 3 rd grade teacher too! I think that’s why I enjoy the 2-4 boxes the most because it is right up my preschool experience alley! Brings back k so many memories. 💕
Wow, what a fantastic box. It’s obvious you put so much thought and love into this which will no doubt bring so much joy to the little boy who receives it!
One of my favorite boxes of yours!! I love all the great learning/sensory/motor development toys. This is definitely a preschool in a shoebox 🏫 🖍️ 🍎📓✏️🚸🟢🟥
I am also packing a couple of boy dolls for 2-4 year old boys. They are soft and cuddly. Also, I am a big fan of the Hi-Bounce Pinky ball. It is solid and sturdy and fun for all ages. Great value that can last for years of play. I found these balls at some of the Lowe's stores in my area.
That is awesome! Thanks for the tip on the pinky balls at Lowe’s Lisa! I’ll be checking! I bought a big bulk package this year because I love them so much!
Wow what a beautiful box. You never quit amazing me. I love that doll & everything in that box. How you fit it all in there is really amazing. The back pack is nice too. I love the whole box. Thank you for sharing.
@@drogers Have you been to Walmart's in the last 2 day's the deals are cheap alot for $ 1.00 stumble guy's a lamb & a guy in a box, little plush in a box all $1.00. Sling shot's 2 pk $3.00.

@@GraceMurdick yes! I’ve found lots of clearance! I’m doing a video haul soon! Oh I wanted those Batman cars but they were still $9! Sounds like you did great!
Sorry I am so far behind on watching my favorite people’s videos. Wonderfully colorful and thoughtful shoebox gift, Denise! Wow, this little boy will be so excited to receive that adorable learning doll and colorful blocks. Love the finger play idea and the 5 little dogs finger puppets. What a thoughtful inclusion. His outfit is the cutest for BTS. Thanks for sharing this full, fun and personal shoebox filled with loads of great ideas. ❤️💙💛💚
I will add that I appreciate how you showed us the blocks with the figures (even the bag size. I went out today and bought two sets of blocks slightly on sale. Then I screenshot how you arranged the blocks (not my strength) and put them in a quart size bag to use as an example! I purchased cubes previously and will bag them similarly. Thank you and heal well!
Oh that’s awesome! They are perfect for my boxes! I packed several sets this year! I still have a few for next year! It’s a great quality toy to include! I’m so glad this was helpful to share! And hey… I screenshot ALL the time! It helps me visually to remember!!!! Thanks for sharing Suzanne! I appreciate it! 💕
Wow! One of my favorites. Love all the bright colors and fun activities. As well being a learning doll it's so soft and cuddly, I love it. It really popped when you opened it then seeing inside was just amazing. Now I want to make another box! Thanks so much, really enjoyed watching
You are so welcome!!!! I love the bright colors too! Always love seeing the top of the boxes and just try to imagine this little boys excitement when he sees it!
Oh wow! I love connecting with preschool teachers! We have so many good stories, right? And yes, I think that’s why I love this age group too! Packing for 2-4 comes so easy for me! 🥰
Ohhh I am so loving the dolls you included in the last few videos! Really really adorable! I especially enjoy all of the educational stuff you included. The building blocks bring so much color to the box and the backpack is so fun! I thought the poster board was a handmade tote🤣. Maybe I should jump on the back to school wagon, I have an ABC 123 box ready. Same coloring book too🤣. Awesome job my friend!
Yes! Jump on the “back to school” wagon! That book is such great quality. Right? I’ve been packing those building blocks all year and love how nicely they are packing! Perfect for the little boys boxes! I love the last two dolls too…Amazon can be my friend sometimes! TFW friend!
My two year old boy has a baby doll that he loves … we got it for him when we found out we were having his sister & he loved her straightaway! Now he loves his sister even more 🥰 this little boy will love his box
One of my favorite boxes. I bought four of the boy plush too when they were on sale, for next year boxes. What a good idea on the finger puppets. And the colors on the backpack will be a big hit. And the drawstring print is perfect. I’ve never seen the schoolbus lacing card. I am on the hunt for it now 😃.
They boy doll was such a great deal right? I have one more to pack for next year! I’m keeping my eye on them to see if they go down again! Gotta love those deals! They don’t last long but they are hot!
Yes, they do stand up and are made from quality material! They have sets of them on Amazon. You can get dinosaurs, transportation, animals, bears etc. just search preschool sorters. Great for nooks and crannies! TFW Pam!
A wonderful back to school box! ✏️🖍 I have never seen a geo board before. I will have to check them out. He will love his boy doll! Thanks for sharing ☺️
My sons (now in their 40’s) had homemade cabbage patch dolls from their grandma Fran. They loved them and played with them often! We recently cleared out our storage unit giving things to our grown children that was theirs. Guess what? My adult sons STILL WANTED their cabbage patch dolls! They both served this country in the army and are NOT wimpy men! Those dolls did not keep them from growing up manly! Of course she made their dolls boy ones but their sister had a girl doll. So no, I have no problems with that doll! Besides it is educational as well! ❤❤❤❤
Denise, love the finger play dogs…never heard that one and I was also in pre-school and 18 yrs in kindergarten….love the cute boy doll also…great box for 2/4🥰
Thank you for the ideas. It is sometimes difficult for me to come up with fun educational toys for 2-4 year olds. Right now I am packing a shoebox, which has some empty spaces ... 😉
Love your fun and educational box! Colorful and classic! Teachers know how to pack! I'd like to imitate your play mat, but I'm not very crafty, though I've been know to try :-) I'm wondering if a flexible plastic place mat might fit if bent over the top of the box like a coloring book.
Thanks Cheryl!!! I think a flexible mat would work great too! Perfect idea! Thank you for watching! My teaching experience definitely helps me with my packing! Love the 2-4 boxes!
I always find it so silly when people get upset about boys playing with baby dolls. Don’t you want them to grow up to be good fathers?
I love the geoboard! We even use them in the middle school classes that I teach!
Oh that’s so cool that you use the geoboards in your middle school classes!
WOW!! I learned a lot for future boxes. All of these FUN items are not only fun but educational for these kids! Great Box Denise! I have one of those dolls in my cart in hopes it will go on sale. It’s so adorable!
He is so cute and great for a box! I have one more to pack but I would get another one if the price drops again! Thanks for the challenge! ❤️

Thanks Marie! It’s so interesting how an unplanned box is turning out to be my favorite. God must have known a little boy needs this one. 🥰
I love the bright primary colors! This little boy will love all his goodies. His soft little boy baby is my favorite.
Thanks Julie! I was aiming for bright primary colors! I love that doll too! Thanks for watching!
This box is so vibrant! Great use of the primary + colors and different textures!
Thank you! That was my goal!!! ❤️

Wow, this bring me back! we had this peg game in math class in elementry school and I loved playing with it :) all those items are awesome 🏫
Math! I’ve missed you! Hope you are well! Well it does not surprise me that you liked something like the geo-board. It’s really a pre-math activity!
A wonderful back to school box! ✏️🖍 I have never seen a geo board before. I will have to check them out. He will love his boy doll! Thanks for sharing ☺️
Thanks Kim! I think I got these from Lakeshore Learning but I’m sure they have them on Amazon.

Excellent box❤
