Helpful Bird Homework Organizer

Time:60 min Difficulty:Medium  

Your homework will be im-peck-ably organized!

Here’s what you need:

  • An empty cereal box
  • Ruler
  • Scissors
  • Pen
  • Acrylic paint in blue, green and white
  • Paintbrush
  • Cardstock or construction paper scraps in a variety of colors
  • Glue stick or white glue

Here’s how you make it:

Step 1: On the wide side of the cereal box, measure 15 cm from the bottom of the box.  Make a mark with your pen. Turn your box around to the other wide side and do the same thing.

Step 2: Use your ruler to draw a line from the top of your cereal box on an angle down to the mark you made. Do this on both sides. Draw a line across the short side of the box connecting the marks.

Step 3: Cut along all the lines. You should now have a box that looks like this:

Step 4: Paint your box so that the bottom half is the ground (in green) and the top half is the sky (in blue). Use the white paint to add clouds.  Let it dry.

Step 5: Cut out birds from your scraps of paper. Glue them all over your box! Need some feathery inspo? Check out this excellent blog entry!

Step 5: Whenever you get homework, put it in the organizer. That way, you’ll always know where your assignments are!

You’re going to feel like a lucky duck if you get your homework done on time!
