Create a town from boxes: Make a toy town using different shapes and sizes of
old boxes and cartons, colored paper, scissors, tape, paper tubes, paint, markers and crayons.
How to do it:
Wrap up boxes and other empty containers with colored paper.
Cut out doors if you want your buildings to have door. Kids - get help cutting things out!
Use toilet tissue tubes for chimneys.
Have fun decorating your buildings with windows, flower boxes, etc.
To make trees use a tissue paper tube for the trunk. Cut out a circle in
the shape of tree tops and leaves and tape or glue to the tube. (Try drawing
in some apples.)
To make a street, on a large piece of cardboard, color in grass, the roadway,
lines on the roadway. Then place your buildings, trees and flowers on your street.
Add things like mailboxes, fire hydrants, a telephone booth, and anything else
you can think of to make it look like a little town.
