Cereal Box to Mail Box



Give your kids their own mailbox! They will love to have their own space to store all of their favorite pieces of mail, and it's easy to make.

MATERIALS:
cereal box
construction paper
crayons or markers
tape
glue
scissors
pipe cleaner, about two inches long

DIRECTIONS:
1. Tape cereal box shut so it does not flap open.

2. Cut the front of the box a few inches down to create a flap.



3. Decorate construction paper with drawing of envelope and the word "mail."



4. Glue to front of cereal box and trim edges. Cover back, sides, and top of box with construction paper.



5. Punch two holes on the flap. Push pipe cleaner through both holes to create a handle.



6. Stuff with mail!



TIP: Glue magnets to the inside of the box so the box can be hung on the refrigerator.
