Operation Christmas Child - Big Girl Little Girl boxes - Space themed ⭐️2024

[@lollyd1276]

Wow, Denise, you may have just outdone yourself! Amazing themed space boxes. You are so creative and have such a knack for finding the perfect contents. The Lord told me to stop buying this year and try and make as many boxes as I can with what I have. So honestly, I haven't seen the new career Barbie outfits, but that's exciting to see astronauts. As one female scientist in a male dominated space, I think giving encouragement to young girls is invaluable. I used to do presentations myself in different forums. Thanks for all your time and effort to share such inspiring videos. And BTW, I hope your recovery has gone well. I am in overdrive trying to get my boxes packed after a broken wrist then frozen shoulder delayed my efforts. Blessings! ❤😊

[@drogers]

A broken wrist and frozen shoulder ???? Oh nooooooo. You are going on my prayer list! That’s a lot to deal with. I am recovering but much slower than I want. Everything is such a chore to accomplish. I thought by 5 weeks post op I’d be a bit further ahead. I use to work at NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology) so I know how important it is to promote STEM for girls. We were always looking for woman scientists and they are hard to come by. I will pray for your packing and healing Lolly! You got this! And thank you for your kind words in these two special boxes! 🪐⭐️🚀💕

Love how this shows how a theme and items can be adjusted for any age! GREAT space saving idea to fill the puzzle box with other things so you still send the cute box, but don't lose out on the space.

[@drogers]

Thanks so much! 😊love using every bit of space in a box and I hope by sharing others will catch on!

Space themed are always a great idea to pack for either gender. First shoebox - love what you did with the Barbie dresses as an astronaut! The pink dress is so pretty! The sloth does looks like an astronaut! The puzzle is gorgeous. The bracelet does look like planets! Great choice in the stars fabric. The space polly pocket is amazing! Love the socks. The pencil pouch backpack was always one of my favorites. The origami paper is perfect. Second shoebox is equally as fun. The lid design is adorable. Girl stuffie is perfect! The dress is beautiful. I love that you included a book you used to read to your kindergarten kids. Such fun and colorful shoeboxes. Great theme for the girls. As always, your shoeboxes are inspiring. Thanks for sharing, Denise!! ⭐⭐⭐

[@drogers]

Thanks Sharon! I always love reading your thoughtful comments! These space boxes were some of my favorites this year! So many fun items! Let’s chat about the PC shifts when you get a chance! Would love to see you! 💕

[@momentstoremember]

Love a science theme for girls!! 💪🏼🪐💫

[@drogers]

Me too! We need more encouragement for girls in science!!!⭐️🚀🪐

[@judyfrazier2462]

Denise, These boxes are OUT OF THIS WORLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@drogers]

Thanks Judy! Hope the girls think so too!!!⭐️🚀🪐

[@batmansboxes4936]

Aww these are adorable! I love the stuffies in both boxes. The astronaut outfit is a great deal for 1.25. I’m working on a Sally Ride box but it definitely will not make a debut this year. I bought the outfit for that box. The Polly pocket is my favorite! Girls love playing with little items! You did another awesome job on these! TFS!

[@drogers]

Ohhhh a Sally Ride box! Awesome idea! You see you just think further out of the box than I do! I love your creativity! Polly was definitely one of my favorites. My girls adored them!!!!

[@amiradeshon5501]

I like this Theme . Great toys and real fun ideas. I'm a new subscriber . I'm new to the Shoe Box Ministry also.

Thank you so much Grace! 🥰

[@WorkingCrassShero]

Absolutely love this. We need more STEM-focused girls' boxes!! Love the astronaut Barbie, too. Thanks for sharing the inspiration!!

[@drogers]

Thank you and I agree! I use to work at the National Institute for Science & Technology and we were always looking for female scientists! 🚀⭐️🪐

[@RoseHolttum]

What fun boxes for a big girl & a little girl:) Have you thought of making a play dough mat for the little girl:) There is one of the OCC You Tuber packing/unboxing friends that makes them but I am drawing a blank on which You Tube channel it is:( :) Have you thought about printing off some space themed origami ideas for the older girl:) Keep up the great boxing & filler for OCC:) Blessings & Take Care 🌹🥰💞🚀🌌🎄🎁🗺️

[@drogers]

Thank Rose! Great ideas! I do often make play-mats! Maybe I’ll add one! Thank you for watching and blessings to you too! 🚀🪐💕

[@sk8rmom222]

Your boxes are always so enjoyable! Love the Polly Pocket that matches the older girl box. Incredible find! :)

[@drogers]

Thank you! I love the Polly Pocket too! It’s so cool! Great find indeed!!!!⭐️🚀🪐

[@surfergirl326]

What a great theme for a girl🥰

[@drogers]

Thanks Sherie! 🪐🚀⭐️

[@HiitsmeePeyton]

Early! I just love your videos! Seeing what you pack is so fun and inspires me a lot! It gives me ideas for themed boxes too! I wish I could pack as much as you do! I find it so fun! Love the theme “Girls Need Space” 🤣. Keep it up and God bless!!!

[@drogers]

Oh thank you for such a kind comment! I’m so glad you are here! It is such a fun ministry preparing each special gift of love! I’m sure your boxes are amazing! Keep up the great work! 🪐⭐️💕

[@JB-xx9ml]

Your boxes are simply out of this world! They will love these to the moon and back! Thanks for sharing ... 💕

[@drogers]

Thank you so much JB! Funny because in my house we always say “love you to the moon and back!”😊🚀🌙

[@lindad1195]

Wonderful boxes for a big and little girl! I have learned so much in this OCC box packing season from you and others that make you tube videos about their box packing! Thanks so much! I have packed 12 boxes this year with my mom’s help! I originally did 10 but then packed two more to help make up for the boxes lost in the flooding in the hurricanes. I have been praying over these boxes and the children that receive them. This is so fun!😊

[@drogers]

Yay!!! 2 more boxes! Thank you so much for packing those two extra blessings! I’m so glad you enjoy the videos and learned so much! It’s such a fun ministry! Thanks Linda!

[@byrdfeed9071]

That astronaut Barbie outfit is fabulous! I’m so impressed with DT’s latest doll clothes. Love the outer space Polly Pocket, too. Sooo darn cute! Origami paper is a really great item to include, and that paper is very cool. I actually think I packed it in a boys space box a couple of years ago 🤔. The Umizoomi doll is super cute. A little girl will love her. You lucked out on the PJs you found at DT. They are adorable. I saw several styles but never that particular one and could not for the life of me match up top and bottom sizes 😂. Two girls who need space are going to think their shoebox gifts are out of this world! 🪐🚀👩‍🚀🌌

[@drogers]

I’m also impressed with DT’s latest outfits especially for professions! Can’t beat the price and the quality is good! It’s truly a miracle that I was able to match up those pajamas! The chances are so slim to find the same size. Another great DT find! Thanks for watching Trish! I definitely hope these girls love these space themed “out of this world” boxes!!!⭐️🚀🪐

[@aliciapozzo9947]

for future space boxes, crayola has cosmic crayons they would be fun a fun add. All of the crayons have space names

[@drogers]

Very cool! I think I saw a small 8 pack at the Dollar Tree to match the cosmic coloring book! Thanks for sharing!!! 🪐🚀⭐️

[@tammyjones3709]

Love the space theme boxes for girls. The 2-4 box I love the stuffie, pjs, dress,really everything😆. The older box the Barbie is great,and love the origami papers. The Polly pocket Is really fun. These boxes will be loved by those girls who receive them.❤

[@drogers]

Thanks Tammy! I love those pj’s too! Who would ever think I could find those at Dollar Tree! I loved that I could also fit her colorful dress in. Oh the origami papers are my favorite too! The colors are just so pretty!!! TFW!🚀🪐⭐️

[@dalehighnote6958]

Fabulous boxes. So creative. My favorite is the Polly Pocket, but so many WOW items that are so fun.

[@drogers]

I love that Polly Pocket too. I’ve been holding onto it for quite awhile. I’m glad it found a home. My girls Loved Polly Pockets for so long! Thanks Marlene!

[@PamsPackingOCCshoeboxes]

Two more very cute boxes. The astronaut outfit looks great on Barbie. I would have loved that colorful pages journal when I was that age. Great theme. I would think boy when I think space-but these boxes are perfect for the girls. I love watching people unbox their boxes too! ❤

[@drogers]

Thanks Pam! I’m pretty impressed with the new DT professions clothing. Nice quality for the price and fun to pack! Thanks for watching friend! ⭐️🚀🪐

[@susannamarie1695]

Space theme for girls, how wonderful! Love the Barbie & her accessories. The glitter puzzle is so pretty! The chipmunks in the spaceship are adorable. My jaw literally dropped when you pulled out the space polly pocket, wow! The journal and the backpack are nice. The origami set is so fun! The 2 to 4 girl box is precious! The astronaut girl stuffie is adorable. Love the dress, her socks and the pajamas! The duplo people are super cute and the books are nice. Love this theme!

[@drogers]

Thank you 🤗 Susanna Marie! This was so fun to put together! Yes, that Polly Pocket was such a great find and it’s sooooo fun! Love it when it all comes together and you feel so good about the gift to represent God’s love! 🥰

[@KarenYork-t2c]

[@mamachicken1548]

Yes, I'm encouraged and inspired and I love watching your videos!! These boxes are outta this world, Denise!!

[@drogers]

Awwww…. You are the best! 🪐🚀⭐️

[@GraceMurdick]

Great box love everything. You do such a great job. I am making 11 boxes more instead of 2 boxes.

[@drogers]

That is awesome to hear! Love this ministry!🥰

[@KellysKidz]

Beautiful space themed boxes! I love the Barbie astronaut outfit (definitely will be on the lookout at Dollar Tree) and the glittery puzzle. The Polly Pocket is really cool, too! Your little girl Umizoomy stuffie is so cute and the dress and shoes will be such a sweet gift for this little girl. Thanks for sharing, Denise! ❤

[@drogers]

Thanks Kelly! I really enjoyed packing these two boxes up! I found some unique items to make each one special. Praying the girls enjoy them! TFW! ⭐️🚀🪐

[@suzanne8264]

A great theme for girls!

[@drogers]

Thank you!🪐⭐️🚀

[@lindenella]

I love these two boxes so much. I have made boy space boxes but not ones for girls. You made them so feminine- I am now inspired to do some girl space boxes next year. Love the Polly Pocket and the little girls stuffie. Thanks for sharing these beauties. 😍

[@drogers]

You are welcome! I had a lot of fun with these! I use to work with scientists and encouraging STEM for girls is a great thing! Glad you enjoyed it! ⭐️🪐🚀💕

[@dianaruthshoeboxes]

First off, the packaging is beautiful! What a great Dollar tree find with the space outfit. I think you are right about the sloth...goes perfect with the theme. Beautiful book from National geographic! I love the saying in the socks. Oh, those stickers are adorable. A full Polly pocket? How awesome. I rarely see our Polly pockets on sale. I would love to send some though. Nice quality on the backpack and what a beautiful verse! I love origami paper as well...yes they are very pretty! And awesome printouts! You really out did yourself here, Denise. This young girl will be so thrilled and blessed receiving this gift of love 💕

[@dianaruthshoeboxes]

The second shoebox is equally amazing. I LOVE the clothes. Stunning, Denise! 👨🏽‍🚀👩🏽‍🚀🚀

[@drogers]

Thanks for your sweet comment Diana. I also love sending Polly Pockets as they were one of my girls favorite toys! But those little Polly’s get lost so easily. 😂I remember having a bin of them for the girls. When I find them on sale, I snatch them up! My other favorite is the origami paper. Hope she enjoys it. Thank you again for your uplifting words.🪐⭐️🚀💕

[@drogers]

Thank you!😊

[@Alicia100ish]

Great boxes! The origami paper is a lovely idea, and the barbie is so cool! The shoes in the small girl box are so nice! Her outfit is cute too 😊 lovely colours in both

[@drogers]

Thanks Alicia! I think my favorite or at least one of them is the origami paper. It is sooooo pretty. TFW! ⭐️🚀🪐

[@valswain]

Oh adorable boxes! I know you said Space themes are some of your favorite themes. I love the boxes because your space items are all so unique. Love that you did space themes for girls and I love the title too 🥰 TFS some of your favorites!

[@drogers]

Thanks Val! Space themes are definitely fun to create especially for girls! TFW!🪐🚀⭐️

[@kristiprice9419]

Thank you! 🤗 I think so too!!!

[@kimmclean9933]

Love these Space 🌏 shoeboxes! Great items! Two happy girls! Thanks for sharing ☺️ Was that Out of this World journal from DT too? I am going to keep my eye out for it.

[@drogers]

Thanks Kim! Yes! Both journals were from DT. They really do have a nice selection! Hope you can find it! I’ll let you know if I see it again! TFW! 🪐🚀⭐️

[@drogers]

Kim, I found the Out of this Wirld journal at DT today! I got one for you! Send me your address! ❤

[@joannmathews6448]

Where do you order the art for the box lids? My wife can’t find the info.

[@drogers]

The lid designs can be found in two Facebook groups under their files tab. They are “sending shoeboxes” and “occ shoebox packers”. I hope this helps!
