What to do with Cereal Boxes?


What would you do with mini cereal boxes? And a two year old at the same time? It also might be raining outside or just to stink'in hot to tolerate.

I would continue my endless fascination with coloring, doll houses, and blocks. Ta da I get to draw whatever I want on 'blocks' and play with my daughter. My baby is having a difficult time today. She can't express all the time what she wants so that means she just cries. This means I have to ask lots and lots of questions to get to the problem, and sometimes that means I just have to change the conversation. So let's just create some masterpieces.
You will need:
mini cereal boxes, or whatever size you have
newspaper
tape
black sharpie
crayons or markers

step 1 : wrap the boxes like presents with newspaper

step 2: draw what you like, trees, houses, people with the black sharpie marker. I also included words like "tree" and "house" to work on sight words.

step 3: hand over the crayons, color with your babies, have fun with the colors!

step 4: play time! make silly combinations like fishies or houses on top of trees. Play doll house with the people

What would you like to see me make a craft out of? Comment and I will give it a shot =)
