Oh shoot! I know Koalas are not bears. I am a creature of habit and just keep calling them koala bears 🙃🐨❤️💚❤️

[@byrdfeed9071]

Don’t beat yourself up, L O L. They are still often referred to as koala bears. The scientific name, Phascolarctos cinereus, is derived from Greek words meaning “ash-gray pouched bear”. So there! 😉

@@byrdfeed9071 well thank you for that info! I appreciate that! I packed a koala bear box a year or two ago and called them koala bears and somebody corrected me 😂😂😂

Wow, these boxes are adorable! I love the baby doll, so precious! Those connecting building pieces are so cool! These are such well-rounded boxes!

[@tammyjones3709]

This is such a sweet box. Love the doll, stuffed animal with added wings and crown,book,so many koala items. This box will be treasured by the little girl who gets it. The 5-9 box is also very cute. Love the stuffie, dress doll. Lots of fun in this box.❤

[@maureenshoevlin8968]

Both boxes are adorable. I love the dress and socks in the 5-9 box! I agree that the night gown in the 2-4 box looks like it could easily be used as a dress. Your notebooks are amazing.

First I must say, I could hear the sounds of joy and happiness in your voice as you presented each of the items. I think God has blessed you just as much as the little girl who receives it. All of the adorable, soft, and cuddly gifts you included will bring such comfort to this child. The doll is precious and the face on the hoodie is so sweet! The stuffie is adorable and the lovey is an extra bonus. So cute that you added the princess crown and butterfly wings! The koala figure is very cool and I love how large it is. The Christmas stocking matches perfectly with her cuddly plush. I thought the snap puzzle looked a little different and then cracked up when you said you plucked all the stickers off🤣🤣. The 5-9 box is equally adorable but that doll is gorgeous! Love the splash of green in there. Great job Val, these boxes are going to wow 2 beautiful children! TFS!

[@valswain]

Thank you, Jeannie! Yes! I feel so blessed. Blessed with Time and resources to pack these boxes 😁

[@PamsPackingOCCshoeboxes]

That doll is so cute and so is the koala stuffed animal. I really like that book, My Mama and me-so sweet. I like the notebook you made for her. Really cute boxes.

[@kimmclean9933]

So cute! 🐨 Love the animal book. Great treasures! Thanks for sharing 😊❤

[@drogers]

Oh that Koala baby!!! How cute is she? I’ve never seen one like her and can just imagine the cuddles she will get! I got those crosses from Amazon too! I like them! I LOVE that book! The visuals are so sweet! I remember those cute nightgowns! Adorable!!! The minky material in her lovey is so soothing. She will love it! I’m always impressed how you make your own books. You are so creative. You packed so many wonderful things.The second box is darling too! Oh my! Love her dress, doll and stuffy! Perfect coloring book! This was so enjoyable to watch! Stay tuned for my Koala box…it would have been a great collab with all 3 ages represented! Great “koala-ty boxes! Bless each child that receives them! 💕🐨💕

[@valswain]

Thank you friend! Well, we are showing them pretty close together so it is kind of like a Collab 😂and if you are doing 10-14, that is so cool and fun! Can’t wait to see your box!

[@kristiprice9419]

Wonderful box ❤❤❤

[@byrdfeed9071]

The doll with the koala hoodie is adorable. I think that’s my favorite in the 1st box, but the koala stuffy is a close runner up, particularly since you cutened it up with the crown and wings 🥰. The nightie is very cute, too, and definitely could, and probably will be, worn as a dress. Both boxes are super sweet and full of fun. 🩷🐨

[@valswain]

Thanks for watching friend! I always like to “cuten” things up a bit more when I can 😊 looking forward to seeing you! We said Wednesday, right?

[@annetteh.26]

What a great box! I really like the board book you found and the notebook that you made! That gives me ideas😊 super job l! Thanks for sharing❤

[@elena-n5q]

Both shoeboxes are awesome. Koalas are so cute. Maybe you can add a picture of a filled christmas stocking at a fireplace, so her caretakers know, what it is used for in the US.

[@Kayla_Schumacher]

These boxes are super cute!! My 6 year old's favorite animal is a koala and she was so excited see everything that you packed for these little girls. She said that her favorites in the 2-4 box were the stuffie, the book and the nightgown. She said that her favorites in the 5-9 box were the stuffie, doll and coloring book. 🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨💗😃 (she also insisted on adding these emojis 🤣)

[@valswain]

I love using emojis myself! 🐨. I am happy to see that you and your granddaughter enjoyed watching 😊

[@sendingshoeboxes6090]

You are so creative! Love your notebook and that gown is to cute! I also like the organza bag you used. I like that swirl design it had. I have never seen those blocks you put in the box. They look really neat and I'll have to keep my eyes open for them.

[@valswain]

I got them from Target a good while back. They had stickers on them with ABC’s and 123’s, shapes, and math symbols. They came in a clear plastic ziplock case about the same size in width and length as a GO box. I have not shopped in a Target for a very long time, but I don’t think these sets are still around.

[@BLESSEDandOCCobsessed]

Koala’s are my favorite animal. I have lots and lots of Koala items and have slowly been adding them to my own Koala themed boxes. Both boxes are wonderful and full of fun! I recently purchased a special whole punch and spiral binding material. I’m going to attempt to use it with my coloring books that I make and an occasional themed notebook. Hopefully it will work, it’s a hand hole punch.

[@valswain]

What a great idea to make a spiral binding for your coloring books!

[@marieterry625]

Darling box! Can you please have a video that shows us how to make the notebooks?

[@valswain]

Sure! I love making videos like that. I will say I have a crafting tool that punches the holes very quickly but I will still show it. 🤓😊🤩 📔 📒 📝
