Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Gather Materials
I start by laying out all my materials on a clean table. I have my cardboard box, colored paper, markers, stickers, craft glue, tissue paper, small toys, snacks, paint, ribbons, labels, scissors, glitter, play-dough, activity books, a coloring book, puzzles, craft supplies, and DIY kits all ready to go!

I take the cardboard box and get my colored paper and craft glue. I cut the colored paper into fun shapes and start gluing them onto the box. I make it colorful and bright, adding stickers for extra decoration.
Step 3: Prepare the Filling
Next, I grab some tissue paper and crumple it up to create a nice fluffy base inside the box. This will give my gift a fun surprise when the lid is opened.
Step 4: Add Toys and Snacks
Then, I start placing the small toys inside the box along with some delicious snacks. I make sure to arrange them in a way that they look appealing and fun.
Step 5: Incorporate Craft Supplies
Now, I choose a few craft supplies, including some markers, crayons, and glitter. I put these in the box for the kids to enjoy while being creative!
Step 6: Include Activity Books
I add a couple of activity books and a coloring book, making sure there's a nice variety of things to keep the kids entertained.
Step 7: Add DIY Kits and Puzzles
Next, I include some DIY craft kits and a fun puzzle. These will provide additional engagement and learning for the children.
Step 8: Finish with Ribbons and Labels
Finally, I take some colorful ribbons and tie them around the box for a festive touch. I also create a fun label with a message saying 'Surprise!'.
Step 9: Final Check
I give the box a final check to make sure everything looks great and is securely packed. I can't wait to see the kids' faces when they open this playful gift box!
