Materials
16 empty, clean milk cartons (or as many as you need),
hot glue, wrapping paper, decorations
Directions
Based on how many boxes you have, you'll have to decide how many
rows you'll have, and how many boxes per row. With only four boxes,
you could put them all in one row, or in two rows of two. The
following directions are based on using 16 boxes.
- Cut the tops off the milk boxes.
- Lay them on their sides.
- Hot glue four of them together,
side-to-side. Do this four times to make four rows.
- Then stack up the rows and hot
glue them together.
- Wrap the entire square in brightly colored
wrap, or decorate as you please.
You end up with 16 individual mailboxes, all
glued into a square, 4 across and 4 down! Label each child's box
with a sticky label at the front of the box, on the flat.
Here's a comment from one of our visitors.
Our organization owns a respite home for
children with disabilities. We have 16 children in all. They all
have their own mailbox to put their crafts in to take home to
their foster or natural families when their stays are over!
Our children go right to their mailboxes when they come for a
stay, as there is usually a surprise for them in there to look
forward to!

Experience the Thrill of Well Behaved Kids Overnight with this One-Of-A-Kind, Powerful New
Parenting Tool
|
Better Behavior gives families discipline creative options without spanking. When your child misbehaves,
spin the wheel and he or she is required to follow whatever consequence the arrow stops on.
Your child participates in choosing the consequences, so he or she will have an investment in the process and be much more willing to give the Wheel a spin when the time comes.
Just having the Wheel in your home can change the atmosphere overnight. It's guaranteed! Conflict resolution becomes much easier to deal with. Families who use the Wheel report dramatic changes in their households. Homework gets done, clothes get picked up, arguing stops...in short, the Wheel produces great kids and a stress free environment! The mere presence of the Wheel will have a marked effect on your kids. Chances are, you'll seldom even have to spin it!
