Sew what!

Allow me to present yet another use for the good ol' Branflakes box.



1: Cut out the front and back of the box

2: Draw a picture on the side with all the print.





3: Poke holes along the lines of your picture using a pointy screw (or a pen)



4: Find a few old shoe laces or wrap some tape around the end of a piece of yarn and turn it over to your kids to do the sewing.





Hint** If you can get them to pretend like it's their new job and give them an 'office' to work in, they'll take this sewing bit very seriously. \

Allow them to come up with their own ideas of shapes to sew. Let them draw it out, and (with your help) poke some holes around the picture. They'll be so proud.
