Post Box Money Box Craft
Have fun making this realistic red English post box with the kids, perhaps for
St George's Day or as part of a London theme. You could even make one for
Valentine's Day, although you would have to post very mini valentines! Jack used
his as a money box.
Jack's post box craft
You will need:
Red paint
Black paint
Red acrylic paint
White paper
Black permanent marker
glue
Old snack tub
Instructions:
Wash and dry the tub. Paint the tub with red paint and the lid with the red
acrylic paint and leave to dry.
Draw a line around the tub about ¼ of the way up. Paint the tub black below
the line and leave to dry.
Carefully cut a slit about ¼ of the way down the tube, large enough to fit
coins through. This bit is best done by an adult.
Cut out a rectangle from white paper, write on your message and stick this to
the tube below the slit.
Underneath draw a crown and the Queens initials (you could draw your own
initials if you prefer).
You could paint the pot with acrylic varnish to protect it if you like.
