What amazing ideas for fillers. I wouldn't have thought of making kit fillers. Such great uses. Thank you so so Ms. Diana

[@dianaruthshoeboxes]

Melanie! It's so good to hear from you again. 🙂 I hope you are doing well and thank you for your kind words. 💗

Oh, I could say the same for you! Your fillers are also inspiring and so creative! Thanks for the shout out. I do love adding drawstring backpacks to my fillers/pencil packs. I need to hurry up and create filler myself this year. I LOVE the tote bags you got! They are practical but also a coloring activity for the children to do. Fun! Great filler with the dinosaur theme - the figurines, mini coloring book, tote, markers, crayons, stickers, and the construction paper booklet you made. Great idea of creating construction paper booklets! I got construction paper on sale and wasn't sure what to do with them. So I'll do booklets! Also, great idea using paper envelopes for the crayons! Your kids colored the tote so well. Love the second filler bag, animal themed. The graphics on the totes are so adorable. The vet fillers are my favorite of yours! So thoughtful of you to go ahead and donate your medical toy kits to the processing center this year. The stuffies are a wow! One thing about your fillers, they are gender neautral - perfect for the processing center. Your mom scored big time with the shoes and underwear! Wow!! Thanks for sharing your creative ideas, friend! 🦒🐘🍐🦕🦖

You have put out so many great filler ideas...looking forward to seeing more this year! I do try my best to make most of my fillers as gender neutral as possible. Yeah, my mom definitely did well with that yard sale find. Thanks for your support and kindness, friend.💗

Hello Diana, Thank-you for sharing another installment of your filler pack ideas. I love the idea of the art pack-albeit with a few ok-ish items. I have been recently packing craft kits for a local children's charity. Many of the items, I had left over from OCC or other crafting projects. I packed in multiple reels of washi tape, and though of you each time. My favourite kit includes a metallic tape featuring ice-creams and cardboard cut-outs of dinosaurs and princess castles. So, the story is Miss 4-6 has an ice-cream eating dinosaur that gaurds the castles. 🍧🦖🏰 I have also packed the little cloth totes with the markers. I have coloured in a few small shapes on the tote to demonstrate to the child how it is to be completed. Looking forward to your next installment. TFS!

[@dianaruthshoeboxes]

Local charity donations are a wonderful thing as well. Aw, thanks for thinking of me with the washi tape. I wanted to include most art items but some little toys in there as well to be played with. Drawing on the tote bags as demonstration is a great idea. Thanks again for your support, Fiona!💗

I love the joke cards. My grandchildren always love jokes. The doctor kits with the stuffed animals and dolls are adorable. I enjoyed your bag ideas. Thank you for the encouragement to branch out with filler possibilities. I truly enjoy the “filler” videos.

[@dianaruthshoeboxes]

Hi Marlene. Yes, the jokes are quite popular among the little ones. 😊 I love making school pouch fillers but also enjoy creating different fillers. Thanks for not only watching but being supportive and encouraging. 💗

Thank you Trish 💗

[@drogers]

Wonderful fillers Diana! And you are right! Sharon does wonderful fillers too! I was lucky one year to get some of her fillers at my table at the PC! They are so needed! These are perfect for toddler boxes! I love the small envelopes for the crayons and construction booklets! These will be great additions to help fill up an empty box! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@nodrogytsirk]

Great ideas! Where do you get those small coin envelopes? I’m also Canadian.

[@dianaruthshoeboxes]

Yay for more Canadians! I buys those from Amazon.ca. I live where there are not a lot of stores near me so many of my items come from there.🙂 Thank you so much for watching.

Hey there! As far as packing filler packs for specific gender age which do you feel is the most needed? I began packing the 2-4 and 10-14 age range but then it dawned on me that those are the fewest received age ranges. Should I start packing more 5-9 age filler packs as those are the most received boxes?

[@dianaruthshoeboxes]

Hi Courtney. 🙂 I would say 10-14 boys need the most filler packs. That is just my opinion though...I'm sure all filler packs would be of great help to the Processing Center. I think your focus on 2-4 and 10-14 range is awesome. Thanks for the great question and have fun making your fillers!
