Story Time Craft

First story time for the theme of Dream Big, Read!

Preschool bed craft:

Materials

• Cardboard box- the perfect sized one was for individual coffee packets, but any rectangle will work.
• piece of thin cardboard
• construction paper
• glue stick and tape
• double-sided origami paper

1. Using the end of the box as a guide, draw a half-oval on the cardboard (sort of like a Milano cookie).  Cut it out.
2. Cut out construction paper to cover the headboard piece, glue on with a glue stick.
3. Tape or glue the headboard to the end of the box.
4. Put the sheet of origami paper on the box like a sheet. Make a crease across the paper at the end of the bed.
5. Make a tucked fold at the end corners of the paper, dabbing the glue stick to secure the folds.
6. At the top of the paper, fold the paper over about 1/2 inch so that it looks like a made bed.
7. Glue the paper to the box.
8. Accessorize your bed with a paper pillow and paper teddy bear.
