What you'll need:

  • Empty cardboard juice box container
  • 2 tablespoons rice
  • Fold top sandwich bag
  • Tape
  • Black and white construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick
  • 2 medium wiggle eyes
  • White craft glue

How to make it:

  1. Cut open the top of the juice box container, rinse and dry thoroughly. (See photo.)
  2. Place rice inside sandwich bag. Roll up the bag and secure with tape. Place bag of rice inside juice box and tape the top closed.
  3. Cut a piece of black construction paper, large enough to cover the top half of the front of the juice box. Glue it in place. (See photo.)
  4. Tear white construction paper into strips and glue them around the box, leaving a small section of the black paper visible for the eyes. (See photo.)
  5. Use white craft glue to attach two wiggle eyes to the black paper. (See photo.)

Tips:

  1. Instead of rice, use sand or pebbles, enough to add some weight to the box so that it does not fall over.
  2. Construction paper is available in large packages at your local discount department store.
  3. A glue stick works better than white craft glue for a smooth, flat finish.
