Keepsake Box

Why

Remember your first box of Crayola® Crayons? How it opened up a colorful world of possibilities? Recapture the magic of childhood with this keepsake box.


Steps

1. Find an empty cigar box or a similar kind of box.

2. Cover your work area with recycled newspaper.

3. Figure out how many Crayola Crayons you need to cover your box. Arrange them the way you want. Ask an adult to use a knife to safely cut any crayons so they fit better.

4. Lay the box flat. With Crayola School Glue, attach crayons to the flat side. Dry.

5. Tip the box and cover another surface with crayons. Cover all sides.
