Who Should You Send A Sunshine Box To?
I created these Sunshine Box printables when a family member was in the hospital, and I wanted to send something special to his kids in hopes of putting smiles on their faces. With that in mind, a Box Of Sunshine would work well as a cheer-up gift for someone going through a tough time, but you don’t need to be going through a tough time to enjoy a Box Of Sunshine! It is also the perfect care package for college students, military members, friends, family, or anyone who you’d like to brighten their day! You could even send it to someone on their Birthday, although we also have a sweet Birthday Party In A Box!
You don’t need any special occasion to send a Box Of Sunshine. Just because is the perfect reason!
How To Assemble Your Sunshine Box Care Package
- Print the Sunshine Care Package Printables on cardstock. There are 2 options for box décor – 1 for large 5” box flaps and 1 for small 3-1/2” box flaps.
- Cut the Sunshine Care Package box décor and use an adhesive applicator to adhere the box décor to the inside flaps of your box. There are a variety of options. Use the box décor you like best!
- Place the Sunshine Activity Sheet and Large Sunshine at the bottom of your box!
- Fill your Sunshine Box with lots of yellow treats. Make sure it is packed well so items don’t shift.
- Adhere a Sunshine Popcorn Tag to microwave popcorn and tie with jute, ribbon, or your choice of string.
- Write a message inside the Card and add it to your box.
- Seal and send your Sunshine Care Package to brighten someone’s day!
Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.

What To Put In A Sunshine Care Package
Everything yellow! The age of your Sunshine Box recipient will determine what you put in the box, but here are a few ideas:
- Yellow food items like Macaroni and Cheese Microwave Cups, Peanut M&M’s, Goldfish Crackers, Butterfinger Candy Bar, Lemonade, Sunshine Popcorn (microwave popcorn with a printable tag – included below), or even Juicy Fruit gum.
- Things to wear like Yellow Sunglasses, a yellow t-shirt, pajamas, or fun socks.
- Just for fun things that bring out the kid in you, like Bubble Wands, Yellow Play-Doh, or a Smiley Face Stress Ball.
- Practical things that will get used up, like Foaming Hand Soap, Burt’s Bees Lip Balm, or lotion.
- Something to do, like an Activity Sheet (included in the printable set), a puzzle full of yellow, a Prayer Journal, or a yellow LEGO set.
Head to the store and have some fun picking out everything yellow! You could even stop by the dollar store to keep your package budget-friendly.
These Box Of Sunshine Care Package Printables make it easy to create a meaningful gift that brightens someone’s day. Just fill the box with cheerful yellow goodies to remind the recipient that they are loved, appreciated, and carry a light within them that truly matters!
