Most of the time, we print the brand name and marks on cartons. Make packaging cartons with carton folding carton printer, the outer carton also needs decoration. We make the printing cartons with the carton printer.
We had some little friends over on Tuesday to help make some simple decorations for AJ’s upcoming Halloween party. I came up with a few ideas for some decorations which smaller kids with limited scissor skills and limited attention spans might enjoy making.
Egg carton spiders (inspired by Kiddley reader House & Baby) were the biggest hit while the paper mache pumpkins (inspired by an old copy of Martha Stewart and Not Martha) were a tad fiddly for little fingers.
You will need:
An egg carton
Scissors
Kids’ scissors
Black paint and brushes
Black cardboard or black pipe-cleaners
Googly eyes or white round stickers
First you will need to cut up the egg carton into segments for your kids. The egg cartons we get here in Australia are pretty sturdy so need a bit of determination to cut apart.
Now the kids can turn them upside down and paint the outside black. There is much fun and mess to be had at this stage.
These need to be left to dry for a while. In the mean time cut up strips of black cardboard for legs (unless you are using pipe-cleaners). When the egg carton pieces are dry attach the legs with glue or sticky tape to the inside of the cups.
On the outside glue on the googly eyes or stick on the white stickers and draw in a pupil.
If you want to hang them, you will need a sturdy needle. Such carton spider is so fabulous.
