Egg carton Nature Treasure Boxes are a great way to encourage young explorers to pay attention to the world around them, and choose a few special things to take home. These treasure boxes foster a sense of self-confidence and autonomy for children, since they get to select which items are special enough to go in the box.
These treasure boxes are inexpensive to make. You and your children can decorate it with any markers or paints you have around the house.
After you decorate your egg carton, go on an adventure with your kids – but let them carry the treasure box. They may choose to add rocks, leaves, feathers, shells, and other natural objects they find along the way.
This inexpensive craft is fun, no-stress, and… you can toss it in the compost bin when you’re done! Happy treasure hunting.
