Boy, 10-14.

We have the least amount of 10-14 year old boy boxes. Cause they are harder to pack. But, heres what Ive put in a box for that age group!

What on earth do you pack for a 10-14 year old boy!?
-A watch, with battery
-A toothbrush, 2 things of smaller toothpaste
-A flashlight with 4 extra batteries
-A pack of glow-stick bracelets
-A Waterbottle with hard candy in it (the candy still needs to be put in a zip bag...whoops)
-A washcloth and bar of soap
-Pencils and pencil sharpener
-A 50 piece puzzle
-Balloons
-A pair of sunglasses (from the dollar store. Can you imagine living in africa or south america and NOT having a pair of sunglassesa? What a great idea to include these!)
-Neosporin lip balm


The box all packed up. You can kind see under the flashlight all the light blue/teal. I wrapped the sunglasses in two pieces of tissue paper. You have to remember that 90% of these boxes are going to rural areas...and after traveling by boat and or plane, they travel by tiny boats, on top of camels or elephants, or on a persons bicycle to reach these children...and Im sure many of them are dropped on the way. Thats one important thing to remember when you pack your box...make sure things fit well, and are NOT breakable. And if they are, make sure that you wrap them in tissue paper or the like to keep them from braking!
