Paper to cover “butcher paper”

Introduction:
Playing with a toy box can motivate the use of motor, cognitive and social-emotional skills, thus allowing free play, fostering observation, the development of imagination and creativity, the value of recycling (notion and value to be reused) and the notion of fragility (possibility of destruction), also we can encourage organization and responsibility for cleaning up their toys when they finish playing, keeping them in a specific place that the child can identify as their play area.
Procedure:
Reinforce the box at the bottom with clear tape. If the top has cardboard covers, fold them inward and reinforce with tape.
Line all four sides of the box with the “butcher paper''.
On the two smaller sides of the box, make two small holes with the tip of the scissors 4 inches apart and insert the cotton rope into each of the two holes and tie a knot in each end of the cotton rope.
Reinforce with adhesive tape at the 4 ends of the top and bottom corners.
On one sheet of paper trace the initial letter of the child's name (it should be capitalized in a different color than the rest of the other letters) and on the other sheet of colored paper trace the remaining letters of the name. Example: “Regina” and glue the letters of the name on one of the long sides of the box.
Trace the numbers 1,2,3 on the different colored paper then cut out and glue them to the other long side of the box.
