My Own Treasure Box

Young children can make this Treasure Box themselves! They gleefully color, tear, and glue Crayola® Color Wonder™ paper to a recycled box.

1. Everyone has treasures they keep in a special place. What things are special to you? Keep your things in this box, which you decorate all by yourself!

2. Write your name on Crayola Color Wonder Paper with Color Wonder Markers. If you need help with the letters, ask an adult or older child. Draw designs on the paper if you like. Attach your name plate to a shoe box or other recycled box with a Crayola Glue Stick.

3. Cover more sheets of Color Wonder Paper with bright Color Wonder Marker colors. Tear the paper into pieces. Create different shapes and sizes.

4. Glue the torn paper onto the box. Use your imagination to make a beautiful mosaic design.

"My daughter made this as a gift for her godmother. Personalized, handmade gifts are always appreciated."
Phyllis I., mother of 3-year-old.

"This project was a rainy-day lifesaver! Two preschoolers and a toddler made treasure boxes for themselves and their friends."
Sonia T., teenage baby-sitter.

During a terrible storm on September 6, 1622, the Spanish treasure ship Nuestra Senora de Atocha sunk near the Florida Keys. The wreck of the Atocha and her amazing treasure chests of silver, gold, and emeralds, valued at hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars, was finally located in 1985 by Mel Fisher and his team of treasure hunters.
