Treasure Boxes
Materials:
Sturdy cardboard box, natural items for decoration, white glue, med-
size paint brush.
This little box is for the youngster to collect "treasured" memories
from summer. Start with a large shoe box and lid. Let the child
collect some items from the yard, the park, and/or the beach. Glue
flat items to the box, and place the non-flat items inside. To give
the box a more durable finish, brush on a coat of white glue diluted
with water. Encourage the child to tell stories of where the
different items came from, or make up stories about the contents.
