Theme: Under The Sea

A fun idea for a themed care package is an Under The Sea or Ocean theme. Since I have been ever so kindly asked to "send edible things" I focused on candy for this one!  *Photos Coming Soon!*


What I bought:
Swedish Fish, Lifesavers, Goldfish Crackers, SharkBites Fruit Snacks, Towel (see "packaging" below)


What I made:
I drew an Octopus* on a small piece of posterboard. On leg #1 I wrote "Read on each day this week!" and then wrote a different message on the remainig legs (#2 - #8). I covered each message with blue painter's tape and wrote the days of the week on each one. This way, even though the candy will probably be eaten right away, there will be somethign to look forward to for the next few days!


Packaging:
I wrapped* all of the snacks in blue tissue paper with white ribbon. I put a new towel* (washed at home and folded with dryer sheets so it smells good) in the bottom of the box and then the candy on top! As always, I put anything edible, even wrapped, inside freezer-size zip-lock bags just in case!
