Activity of the Month: Keepsake Box

We are happy to announce that we will be posting a new monthly feature called: Activity of the Month!!!

We will be showcasing various activities that we have found children really enjoy, including but not limited to arts, crafts, toys, board games, outdoor & indoor activities, places to visit (i.e. fun parks, theatrical plays, child concerts etc...), and music & dance activities!

We encourage parents and child care providers to try our ‘Activity of the Month’ and share your experience with us by posting a comment on our blog.
We hope you enjoy our new blog feature!

Our ‘Activity of the Month’ for January is: Keepsake box


Why this activity? We have found that children and adults LOVE this activity because it is multi-purposed. Children can use their imagination and create a box that can be used as a treasure chest, jewellery, time capsule and or keepsake box. Children can decorate their box any way they wish....there is no wrong...it’s all about having fun while being creative!

Lastly, this activity will be treasured for a very long time, as it can also be used as a present given by a child to parents, siblings, friends and or family members!

What is this? It can be a wooden/plastic/cardboard/foam box.

Where can you buy this? Any dollar store or art store (i.e. Michaels or Deserres)

Items you will need: -a keepsake box, glue, scissors, paint, jewels, construction paper, stickers, glitter, beads and or dry macaroni (fun to decorate with)

***(please note that the items listed above are optional to use)***
