Why

Kids broadcast the news with their own TV. They'll channel their creative energies into art that has real star power.

Steps

1. With Crayola® Scissors, cut construction paper to cover a recycled tissue box so it looks like a TV. Attach with Crayola School Glue.
2. On another piece of paper, draw a picture with Crayola Metallic FX Crayons (or use a photograph). Glue the picture to the tissue box.
3. Draw, cut out, and glue stars around the picture.
4. Create designs on the box with Crayola Glitter Glue. Dry.
5. Change channels by adding more pictures on the other sides of your tissue box TV!

- Ryan H., camp counselor.

"We used kids' photographs. I wrote what they love to do while they're at child care on the stars. Parents were thrilled."
- Petiri N., family child care provider.
