We eat, breath, and sleep army type stuff in this house. So, when I seen a rather large box in the garage I knew just what to do with it. However, if you don’t have a large box tucked away in your garage, your neighborhood Lowes or Home Depot sells them.
What you will need:
- 1 large box and one 1 medium box. Must be large enough to fit in unless this tank is for decoration purposes.
- Tape (I loved the camo duct tape)
- 1 brown bag paper roll
- Scissors
- School glue
- Construction paper
- Markers
- Craft knife (or a steak knife works if you are in a bind like me )
Directions:
Tape the medium box to the large box. Cut off the top. Cut a hole in the large box so that you can fit into it.
Cut a small hole into the medium box and insert the paper roll. Secure it with tape both on the inside and the outside.
Cover with construction paper using school glue to attach. Cut 6 round circles and glue them on the bottom to make wheels. Cut out two rectangles and write US ARMY on them. Glue them on. Make a star for the front and back.
GO PLAY!
