First, cut the recycled cardboard into a 6 ½ inch x 4 ½ inch rectangle.

Now let’s attach our crayons! Using the colored jumbo craft sticks, affix each color to the cardboard with a glue stick and press to secure. Once all the sticks are secure and lined up evenly, take a book or other heavy item and place it on top. Allow the crayons to dry for at least 5 minutes.

While the crayons are drying, let’s make the “crayon tips.” Cut a small square of each color of construction paper. Cut the top of each square to a point by cutting each corner to create the crayon tip.

Glue the “crayon tips” on each crayon according to color and allow to dry for a few minutes. Cut the excess cardboard around the tips of the crayons.

Once the crayon tips are dry, it's time to decorate the crayons! Draw a design and a smile to give these crayons some life!

Now it’s time to make the “crayon box.” Cut a piece of yellow construction paper in half. Wrap and fold the paper around the “ crayons,” securing it in the back with glue. Allow drying time.

Cut a slit midway from the top of the paper to create some flaps for your box. Fold-down and glue the corners of the flaps to secure them.

Finally, decorate the front of the crayon box to make it more realistic!
