Making birthday boxes for the food pantry is one of the 100 Little Things tasks that I’ve really been excited to accomplish. My kids have been a bit…self-centered lately and they needed a good dose of service to simmer that behavior down. After a few weeks of slowly collecting the items, we spent Saturday morning talking about helping others and assembling the boxes. I never know if it will “click” but this one definitely did – they could not imagine other kids not having a little birthday celebration!
We filled our boxes with cake mix, frosting (with sprinkles!), candles, and a Happy Birthday banner. We also included a few inexpensive treats for the birthday boy or girl: Silly Putty, crayons and fruit snacks. Other good ideas would be stickers, bubbles, art supplies or sidewalk chalk. An easy project with a big impact. They can’t wait to drop them off!
Awesome!! And those smiley faces in that photo!!
What a great idea for Lent and a wonderful way to get the children involved in charity.
Oh, I just love this! Pinning this now so I can put this on our family's bucket list.
