One of my favorite themes when shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child is penguins. I don't know why, maybe because I have a few times (you can see past penguin themed shoeboxes here) and I like traditions. :) I actually ended up doing two in 2017. This was the main one, for a 10-14 year old girl.
Here's some photos of how I got it to fit including the little tin that I made into a hygiene/hair fun things kit.
When we make a themed Operation Christmas Child shoebox, we don't leave out anything on our basic packing list-I still put in hygiene, school, and art supplies, clothing, whistle, etc as well as toys (including a ball and stuffed animal) with a family photo. We just try to find versions of what we are putting in that goes with the theme and occasionally an extra item or two.
I also had found so much stuff, I packed a 5-9 girl box as well...don't have it photographed as well, but here's a look to give you an idea.
For more ideas/fun boxes, check out other shoeboxes we packed for girls or our themed boxes!
