pizza box

Why?

Are you a clutter bug? Always losing stuff? You’ll be a keepsake kid after you decorate this handy storage container—it’s a pizza box!

Steps

1. Pizza boxes are strong AND big enough to handle lots of three-dimensional school projects. Here’s one way to make your own unique storage box.
2. With Crayola® Scissors, cut a construction paper label for the top of a clean, extra-large pizza box. Draw the label with Crayola Rainbow Twistables. Write the year, your name, and other information. Attach the label to the box with Crayola School Glue.
3. Decorate your Project-Saver Box with the fun, ever-changing Rainbow Twistables hues. Make bright borders, stripes, dots, or any designs you like on the top and sides! Make your box look as exciting as the projects you’ll put inside.

adaptations
