Keepsake boxes

So sorry to be MIA! Spent the week with the kids rotating a stomach virus between them, and my husband. Ick! Luckily I made it through healthy, it's never good when mom is sick!

What we used:


box
construction paper
scissors
glitter
glue
puffy craft balls (no idea what they are really called)
Optional: Anything small that could glue to the box. We were going to use beads, but I was afraid the glue wouldn't keep them stuck forever, and with a one year old that would pick them off and eat them....yeah, didn't use them.
Paint: we didnt use paint, but you totally could.

What we did:
We started with cutting out a bunch of shapes out of the construction paper. We (and I mean everyone, this was a great craft for everyone) glued the paper and the balls to the box (and you can glue whatever else you want to use) After they were done gluing I wrote their name with glue on the side (good for name recognition and learning to read) and they covered it with glitter.

This (semi) finished product
(the boys want to add more on, and we will, just not today)

Glue "stencils"

What we used:


paper
glue
pencil (we used a pencil, I don't recommend that)
crayons with the wrapper taken off (we found this to work better than the pencil)

What we did:
Use the glue to make shapes and words on one piece of paper. Let dry. Place another piece of paper over it and rub the crayons (laying flat on their side) all over. The shapes from the glue stencils will show on the top paper.
Sorry, didn't get a good picture of the finished product but here is a picture of the craft in action, before we changed to crayons =)
