Cereal Box Toddler
Organizer
Get
your toddler started early on keeping things organized
with this project. You'll need 3-4 cereal boxes for this
project...so save them up! Take 2 or three cereal boxes
close in size and cut the small side flaps off. Then put
one box on top of another box and fold the flaps over
into the bottom box and tape inside. Then put another
box on top and fold the flaps down into the box below
that one. On the top box you can cut the other long flap
if you like or tape it over the top. You can either stop
here (and let your toddler put all her drawings, scrap
paper, or stickers in each "shelf") or you can make a
drawer out of another smaller cereal box. Take the
smaller box and see if it will fit inside one of the
other boxes. Tape the top closed. Now take some scissors
and cut out a large rectangle on one side of the box.
Cut a small half rectangle on one end and bend it out,
for the drawer
"knob". Then slide it
in and let your toddler decide what to put in the
special d rawer.
Supplies
Needed:
-
Empty cereal boxes ( 3 or 4)
- scissors
- tape
Tips/Suggestions:
-
Let your toddler help with stacking the boxes and taping
them together.
- When deciding what to put in the shelves, suggest that
your toddler put all the blue paper in one and all the
red paper in another one to review colors.
- You can always tape white paper to the outside of the
cereal boxes and let your toddler decorate them too!
