DLTK's Holiday Activities for Kids
Frankenstein Box for Halloween
You can replicate the same type of craft using craft
foam by tracing the template pieces onto foam and drawing on a few of
the details.
It turns out really cute just with paper though -- the
directions assume you'll be doing it just with paper.

Materials:
-
paper
-
glue
-
scissors
- small empty box (we use kleenex boxes and shoe boxes)
- construction paper
- OPTIONAL: thin cardboard (empty cereal boxes work well)
- OPTIONAL: large wiggly eyes
Directions:
- Print out the template of choice and color as appropriate.
- Wrap the empty box up with construction paper (or gift wrap) in an
appropriate color (black or green would work) or you could paint it with
acrylic or poster paint.
- Cut a slit in the top of the box large enough to fit typical Halloween
treats (small chocolate bars, suckers, etc) in the top.
- NOTE: You could also just cut the entire top off the box or use
a no-top box like a shoe box.
- OPTIONAL: Glue the templates to pieces of thin cardboard and let dry
- Cut out the template pieces.
- Print the child's name on the large pumpkin (template 1)
- Glue pieces together:
- Head shape (template 1) should go on shoulders (template
2)
- Glue the bow (template 2) under the chin
- Glue the whole body onto the back of the box, facing over the top (so
it looks like he's sitting behind the box, holding it... see picture at
the top of this page if you don't understand).
- Glue the pumpkin (template 1) onto the front of the box
- Glue the hands (template 2) to the front of the box, overlapping the
pumpkin slightly
Templates:
- Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE,
PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
