Father’s Day Picture Cube
To make this Father’s Day gift, you will need: a small box (about 4″/10 cm square) with a lid; six pieces of heavy paper cut the same size as the sides, top, and bottom of the box; glue; crayons or markers; seam binding or 1/2″ (1.25 cm) strips of construction paper (optional).
-
On the pieces of paper, color pictures of things you like to do with your dad, things your dad enjoys doing, or things you are thankful your dad does.
-
Glue one drawing on the outside of each side of the box, the lid, and the bottom of the box.
-
Glue the seam binding or construction paper strips over the corners of the box, if desired.
-
Give the box to your dad to hold things, or fill the box with gravel or grain so he can use it as a paperweight.
