Summer vacations are going to end soon. And the kids will be back to school in no time. I wonder how time flies so fast! I wanted to create an organizer for my play school guy. Since we work on various activities on the weekend. We can surely use a box to have all things in place. And something he would feel proud that he made it himself. So, we got into an activity with colorful papers that was fun and constructive at the same time.
 
When it comes to colors, nothing can be compared to AstroBrights papers. They come in 23 BRILLIANT colors, so your bright ideas always get attention. And they are perfect for projects at home, school or the office. You can use AstroBright Papers in amazing projects. Like After School Chore Charts, Summer book reports with flair or even scrapbooking about summer vacation. Here’s what else you can do with these colorful papers.
 
So, let’s get started with the ACTIVITY BOX:
 
I made my activity box for school
 
I gave these colorful papers to my little guy to color in anything his heart desires.
In other words doddle over. That’s what my 3 year old does!
Usually, it’s his fantastic artwork with crayons, as you can see.

Once he was done with his artistic strokes. I cut the papers into rectangles and glued them onto the milk container, cutting the top flaps. Finally, I gave the entire box a good coat of mod podge to seal and prevent the surface.
I made a cute label using the foam, and wrote “My Box” on it.

My boy is so thrilled to have his own handmade activity box.
He loves to keep all his activity things inside it. And it is spacious enough to carry a lot of items.
He loves carrying it all around the house.
