Recyclables

Have you ever wondered what
you can do with all these empty little
boxes that people automatically throw
away in the trash can ?

Answer: You can use them as a guide
to create your own colorful boxes !

Here's what you do:

(1) Carefully open the box and make sure that none of the flaps are torn off. Then cut the box open along the side. You will now have something that looks like the picture above.

(2) Use a pen or pencil to trace the opened box onto some colorful paper. Cut it out.

(3) Fold the flaps down using the original box as a guide.

(4) Put the box together and tape or glue the edges shut. You can also leave one flap untaped to create a box that can be opened.

Now you will have a colorful box that
you can use as storage or a base
to make many other
C-o-o-o-l things.
