#CRAFTING Post it!

You'll have hours of fun with this quick little project. Toddlers love to post things.

YOU NEED

• 1 ice-cream container

• 2 sheets of very thin wood, available from art shops

• 4 paint colours

• 1 piece of paper with a pattern that matches your paint colours

• pencil

• sharp scissors, knife or NT cutter

• paintbrush

• ruler

• black koki pen

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT

1. Make the mailbox. Use the pencil to draw two lines on the lid of the ice-cream container, dividing it into four quarters. Draw a line for the slit in the middle of each quarter, and cut it open. Paint each of the blocks on the lid a different colour. Cover the bottom part of the container with the patterned paper.

2. Make the envelopes. Using the ruler and pencil, draw 16 evenly sized rectangles on the wood. Each envelope needs to be narrower in width than the slits of the mailbox. Divide into lots of four, and paint each a different colour. Paint on both sides. Once dry, use the koki pen to draw an envelope line on every ”envelope”. ●
