Bunch of kids stuff for Christmas Shoebox charity drive

Placebo on 13/09/2013 - 22:42

Hi all,
I am looking for any suggestions on places to get the following things, the cheaper the better as I am trying to put together lots of Christmas Shoeboxes for our school to donate

face washers (flannels)
soft toys (have to be small enough to fit in a shoebox with other stuff)
pencil cases
sharpeners
marbles
bouncy balls
tennis balls
toy cars (like Hot Wheels type things)
dolls
skipping ropes
craft sets
colouring books
t-shirts
undies

I would welcome any suggestions :) Also, if anyone has done these before and has some suggestions for other things to put in them, that would also be much appreciated.

    I haven't done a shoebox charity drive, so I'm not sure if these items would be suitable, but some ideas for additional items are
    Chalk
    Dice
    Playing cards
    Socks
    Mini novelty soap (e.g. one that looks and smells like a strawberry)
    Notepad
    Stickers
    Textas
    Novelty shoelaces
    Toothbrush
    Comb/hairbrush
    Hair ties

    No Graygirl, I am in WA. Why?

    Thanks for the extra suggestions mdsh, I especially love the idea of the mini novelty soaps, I will keep my eye out for some of those :)

    You could try Officeworks for some of the stationery items. My local store always has a lot of that stuff on clearance.

    Ideas: pencils, pens, rubbers, notebooks, a t-shirt, little koala (or Australian themed) plush, tennis or bouncy balls, stickers, comb and beanie.

    kmart has some good stationery packs.

    15 coloured pencils in a tin for $2 (with sharpener)
