It seems that most young children are naturally collectors. My daughter is no different.
When we were reading an issue of a High Five (Highlights, but for younger children...we definitely like it), M was excited to see the craft idea of making a treasure box.
She really enjoyed the process. M is four years old, and it was definitely a one-on-one project since she needed help alternating the craft sticks. (Thankfully E was not overly interested.)
I definitely recommend creating a treasure box with your little collector!
We decorated with a simple "M" and a sticker jewel on the top. A foam sticker cross decorates the interior of the lid.
M was very proud, and she still loves her homemade treasure box.
She should be proud! She did an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteWe have so many of those sticks waiting to be turned into something - I think the kids would love this project!
ReplyDeleteTreasure boxes are so much fun. I remember loving making boxes like that as a kid!
