Hello!

Such an easy project that your kids can help you with. Let them chose the colours and help you paint the egg carton and toilet rolls and they will be inspired to keep their desk tidy. Great with the start of term 4 of school.


Material

  • 1 egg carton
  • 12 toilet paper rolls
  • assorted paints, sticky tape, paintbrushes.

Method

  1. Cut the egg carton in two and keep the lid.
  2. Paint the toilet rolls in the colours you want - we chose rainbow colours. Paint the base of the egg carton as well. Let dry.
  3. When dry, sticky tape the toilet rolls to the base of the egg carton and to each other (by double siding the tape) for added stability.
  4. Let your child add their stationary in.

Notes

Sparkle it up by adding stickers or glitter glue if you like.

  • I have done this but I put it in a clear bucket (that once contained smokey BBQ nuts) and it makes it more stable for our 2 year old. He doesn’t like colouring in much but he likes putting the same colour pencils together. I have about 12 rolls in the bucket.

  • In an egg carton without the toilet rolls you could put erasers, pencil sharpeners, glider clips, a staple, a packet of staples and various other small stationery items
