Who this list is for
A 10-year-old interested in gardening and classroom organization can use this list to make a pretend seed library cabinet. It uses empty paper packets and drawings, not loose seeds.
How to use this list
Use the small cardboard box with lid as the cabinet and arrange the six matchbox-style cardboard boxes as little drawers or sections. Cover and decorate surfaces with kraft paper, green cardstock, and white cardstock. Add garden plant picture printouts, then make drawer labels with blank address labels and alphabet stickers. Use the ruler for straight label areas, fine-tip black markers for names, and colored pencils for plant drawings. Glue sticks and clear tape will hold paper parts in place.
Common mistakes
Do not store loose seeds in this cardboard craft. Label the matchbox-style boxes before decorating heavily, so each section stays easy to identify. Avoid adding plant names that do not match the selected picture printouts. Keep glue off the drawer edges, or the small boxes may not slide or open cleanly.
