So since the baby is going to be here in a matter of months (eek!), I thought I might make him or her something special: a treasure box! Parents like to keep all sorts of mementos from when their babies are small, so I figured my parents would be happy to have something like that for my brother or sister.
What you need:
Kleenex box or shoe box, packing tape, fancy paper, craft glue, decorative items, plain paper, marker
What you do:
- If you’re using a Kleenex box, cut about an inch and a half from the top, all the way around to make a lid for the box. Leave one long side uncut (this is the hinge). If you’re using a shoe box, use packing tape to tape one long side – this is the hinge.
- Decorate your box with the fancy paper. Use the craft glue to stick it to the box.
- Decorate the lid with all kinds of neat stuff: shells, rocks, stickers, felt shapes – whatever you like!
- Attach your plain piece of paper to the lid of the box and write “Treasure Box” on it.
- Present the box to your parents (or whoever it’s for).
