New Year's Memory Box Craft

By Joanna Young

Preschoolers can learn to appreciate the meaning of the New Year celebration by creating this New Year's Memory Box Craft. This memory box, made from a recycled gift box and photos taken during 2006, will help your preschooler remember special events and important moments over the year. Take time to discuss each photograph and its special memory or meaning as you and your preschooler put together this momento to commemorate the passing year. 

Materials You Will Need

Photos taken over the year
Recycled gift box
White school glue
Laminate sheets

How to Make It

Step 1:

Choose enough photographs to cover the box lid.

Step 2:

Spread the glue all over the box lid and arrange the photos into a collage. Allow to dry.

Step 3:

When the glue is completely dry, seal the photos with the laminate sheets. You'll need one or two laminate sheets, depending on the size of the box.

Step 4:

Fill the New Year's Memory Box with special items such as Christmas and birthday cards, your preschooler's artwork, report cards or awards, more photos, etc. The possibilities are endless, so allow your preschooler to choose items that had special meaning to him/her during the past year.
