Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
A clean empty cardboard box and large child-appropriate crayons.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Draw a large triangle tree and a trunk on one side of the box.
- Add circles, stars, or other drawn decorations in colors you choose.
- Place the box on a stable surface and tell a story about your tree.
Adult removes staples, tape, and loose pieces and stays beside the child; keep the box away from the face.
