Build a City With Boxes
Children know a lot about city planning because they're such good observers. Build on their planning and construction skills with this city made of boxes.
1. Gather several small, recycled cardboard boxes. Use Crayola® Scissors to cut construction paper to cover the sides of each box.
2. With Crayola Twistables Crayons and Crayola Washable Markers, draw windows, doors, and other features for each house or building.
3. Attach the construction paper to the boxes with Crayola Glue Sticks.
4. Arrange the boxes on top of recycled cardboard to design your street scenes.
5. Draw in streets, sidewalks, intersections, and parking lots to complete your city made of boxes.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
