Activities for Gift & Box

Make the Box character!

You can make a Box character that looks like the one in the story. Click here to download and print the image.

NOTE: Before you glue on the printed image to the cardboard box, be sure to position the opening to show child’s eyes.

Cut off the lower box flaps when you’re all done.

Or just cut the opening for the eyes and children can design their own Box face!

Pretend play for little ones

Children can use the cardboard Box character creation as a prop to engage in pretend play around the story. They can imagine what it’s like to be Gift inside of Box!

Perhaps little ones would like to explore some different emotions as the story character Gift. Maybe they can be an excited Gift… an angry Gift…a bored Gift?
