She painted a yogurt container -- then I had to help as the paint was getting messy. We waited for the paint to dry. Then she taped on the black strip and made a buckle with gold paper. We put an opening at the top too -- like a trap door. It was tricky... an exact-o knife came in very handy. (would have been better if it were sharp!) I super glued the container onto a wrapped up tissue box and we waited for everything to dry some more.... (see the glue dripping down?)
While that was drying, she glued some popsicle sticks together to make a ladder...
Then she painted rocks gold!
Gotta have a lot of those gold nuggets!
And then the super glue was out again....and glitter glue for the top of the trap door...
This is what she has so far!
A few days later.. .Viola!
A closer look:
Her signs are really cute. One says: do not climb ladder and the other says, no gold in there. Hee hee...
