Gift box ukelele



Here's a version of the shoebox guitar activity (instructions at link) from Sunny. We used a sturdy little giftbox and some paper straws. Auggie had some trouble with the elastic bands so I did that for him, and I cut out the hole with an exacto knife. I think within a year he could tackle this project on his own with safety scissors, but not today. He really loves colouring on black paper so lucky for us we had a black gift box in the closet.

Elephant paper punch




Dressew has loads of paper punches with different shapes for 99¢. They each have a little box on the bottom to catch the punched paper, so you can make confetti! This has caused a mild amount of excitement and many small elephant-shaped holes all over  the house.
