We got our box this weekend from our assigned homeschool shoebox swap partner from Montana. WOW! What a lot of great stuff they sent us! Here is a list of some of the wonderful things they sent:
Personal, handwritten letter from the mom
Personal, handwritten letters from the children, how adorable (will be adding these to the boxes we send out from now on)
Beautiful, artistic drawings from one of their children
A variety of "Pocket Games," one per child (had $1.00 sticker on them, so they thankfully kept costs to a minimum)
"Super Play Sets", one per child (contains jump rope, yoyo, whistle, and set of jacks each)
A zippered bag with a variet of river rocks and a real cactus piece (I picked it up and tried to feel what it was, just took a milisecond to realize "OUCH, that's a cactus!" LOL)
Two much larger river rocks with striking colors on them
"Rural Montana" magazine of their electric coop
"Montana's Gold West Country" magazine
