Let\u2019s get started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 1: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cut off three out of four lid tabs of your cardboard box. Leave the lid tab that is on one of the longer sides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 2: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carefully measure the sides of your cardboard box.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 3: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now you will have to draw out the side of your lid with your marker. The straight edge of the bottom should be the same measurement that you took above i.e., it should be the length of the shorter side of your cardboard box.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 4: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cut out your side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 5: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trace this semicircle side on a cardboard sheet in order to produce an identical side. Also, measure the curve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now we make the top of the lid of your cardboard box treasure chest&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 6: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go with the grain of the ribs of your cardboard, and make sure it is the width of your box. Next, the measurement of the curve of your box top should be against the grain. Once you have your required measurements in place, cut it out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 7: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your next step will be to curve the top of your lid. This is where your duct tape roll will come in handy. Use the duct tape roll too slowly and carefully roll the lid up; this will make taping your semicircles much easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 8: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tape the lid to the semicircle sides. Take a piece of tape and place it in such a manner that it lines up the middle of your lid top as well as one of the sides of the lid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 9: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now take a fairly large piece of duct tape and delicately work your way around the side of the lid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 10: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019ve put tape on the outside, it\u2019s time to reinforce the inside as well. Apply tape along the inner seam of your lid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 11: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repeat steps 8 to 10 to join the other side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 12: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To attach your lid to the main box, roll the lid flap that is remaining to make it easier to bend as you attach your lid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 13: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take your lid. Start taping your lid to the lid flap from the inside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 14: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now tape the back of the lid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 15: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, tape a piece of cardboard to the front of the lid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 16: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tape another small piece of cardboard to the front of the box in such a way that your clasp is able to slip in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And voila! Your own easy treasure chest made from simple cardboard is ready!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All you need to do now is paint, decorate and\/or add embellishments to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want this to be a project where your kid actually uses his brains instead of blindly following orders, then don\u2019t tell him what the next step is! Allow him some space and a few minutes to brainstorm and try and figure out what the next step could be with the materials you have at hand. Let your child do some experimenting and problem solving and give you tips as you go along.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will be an awesome learning experience for your child and a fun bonding session for both of you. After you\u2019re done making and decorating the treasure chest, your child can run off and find little keepsakes and treasures to fill his box. And just like that, you can tick off another enjoyable art and craft project from your list!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for a really cool and enjoyable project to do with your kid that will also be a great learning experience?
