Sunshine Box for the Grandkids

It's been a while since I've sent off a care package to my grandkids up north, so I've really been thinking about that a while. The other day I went on Pinterest and looked around for ideas, and then went to the store to see what I could find. I also started a new board called "It's From Gramma!", because I know that's what they'll say when they get it. 

I was able to buy some cookies from a local lady, ones that they can paint and then eat. I bought some for my other grandkids too...the ones from the Island. I have a photo of them 'painting' their cookies since they were in town recently. Cute idea, right? 

I usually pick up candies, a few little toys, some books, etc. This time I did find an idea that I thought was kind of cool. I usually always throw in a little letter to the kids. In the past I've written the letter with different color markers, added stickers, etc. This time I bought each of them a puzzle. I took them out of their boxes, turned them over and - - well, let me show you.

This was for a younger grandson, and it had only 24 pieces.

I turned it over and wrote the letter to him on the backside of it. 

This one is for my granddaughter and I did the same for her, but hers is a little longer because it was a 48 piece puzzle which meant there was more room to write on it.

Then I placed both of them back in their respective bags (taped) and boxes waiting to be mailed.

I'm going to call them Sunshine Boxes using a print I got off of Pinterest. 

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods! 

Blessings,
