1. Make the phone body - Wrap a small rectangular box with black paper (a Mac and Cheese box works great). 2. Add the face of the cell phone - Print out Phone template (see link under 'items needed'). Have your child cut out the phone face, then glue on the box. 3. (Optional) Make numbers more like buttons - Glue the extra numbers onto cardboard or cardstock, and then cut them out. Your child can match the cutout numbers to the numbers on the phone. Glue them onto the phone, or you can also use foam adhesive to give extra dimension to make the numbers look more like buttons. 4. Add dial and hangup buttons - Your child can color green for the call button, and red for the hangup button. 5. Add your phone number - From the extra numbers, cutout the numbers is your phone number. Glue them onto the side of the phone. Have your child practice dialing it, and other emergency numbers such as 911....but only for emergencies!! 6. (Optional) Add your child's photo - Print out a photo of your child and glue in the display area. |

1. Punch a hole at the bottom of each cup using a pushpin. 2. Thread each end of the string or fishing wire through the hole in the bottom of the cups. 3. Tie the end of the string to a piece of toothpick to keep the wire in place. 4. Test it out! Talk in one end while the other person listens on the other end. (It works best if the string is pulled tight). |
