Who this list is for
Mini treasure boxes are for seven-year-olds decorating a small lidded box for paper notes, stickers, and tiny keepsakes. The finished box is not meant for food or valuable items.
How to use this list
Give each child one small unfinished wooden box with a lid. Set out washable acrylic paint, paintbrushes, paint palettes, and paper towels first. While paint dries, children can plan names or designs with fine-tip black markers, alphabet stickers, foam stickers, self-adhesive gem stickers, and washi tape. Use washable tacky glue only for decorations that are not self-adhesive. Small index cards fit the intended use of storing paper notes.
Common mistakes
Do not paint the lid shut by applying heavy paint along the closing edges. Avoid attaching stickers or gems to wet paint. Use a small amount of tacky glue so decorations stay in place without sliding. Keep the box for the listed paper items and small keepsakes rather than food or anything valuable.
