Of course you have boxes that you don’t need. Younger children will have fun playing with their new friends while learning about size, weight and placement by fitting one animal box inside another. You will need recycled boxes (different sizes), brush, paint, marker, hot glue gun, glue and scissors. Disassemble the boxes. Cut off the bottom flaps so that the smaller boxes can fit inside. Turn the boxes inside out and reassemble, gluing the flaps to fix the piece. Draw your favorite animal ears onto cardboard, adding a 1/2-inch flap. Cut out the pieces, fold down the flaps and glue them to the top or a side of the animal head. Now draw your animal faces and paint them.
