Make your holiday presents pop with an inventively engineered gift box. Use the propulsive power of rubber bands to design a box that springs open and latches shut. Add spacers to modify the pulling forces, then BE DETERMINED to adjust them so your box bursts open at the rate you choose. Finish your clever contraption with one additional element—a special message, paper confetti, launching cutouts or exterior decoration—to dazzle and delight your lucky giftee.
Note: This class puts a wintry twist on our Surprise Confetti Box. If your child took that class in the fall, they’ll have a chance to keep building on the skills they learned, plus make a new gift box for a new season. While we offer a similar class for older kids, the pacing and content of this class is carefully calibrated for 4h – 5th graders.
