Nik Nack Box
Optional Extras: glitter, stickers, paint, pictures
*TIP: decide what you want to put in your box, then find a container big enough to put it in
How to Make it:
The Sky is the limit!
[1] go through magazines, and pictures and cut out things you want to use to decorate your box with
[2] apply glue to sections of your container, and stick your pictures to the container. Be as creative as you want to be.
[3] lastly, let it dry, and hide all your favourite nik naks in it so they may be safe forever! Well- as long as you need them to be.
Creative Comment:
This is a project for all occasions, all ages, and all levels of creativity. Adults can enjoy this project as much as or even more than the kids. Me, for instance; love to eat candy, unfortunately when I worked at the resort in the summer, my roomates would steal my candy while I was at work. So rather than hiding my candy, I made them their own SNACK BOX with their own candy. They loved it!
Teachers Tip: Customize these boxes for Christmas, Valentine's Day, Birthdays, any Holiday.
This is a great way to have kids make a collage about their likes and dislikes, hobbies, interests, favourite sports, subjects,etc, that they can keep and compare with at the end of the year.
Project Twists:
