Materials
Large cardboard box
String of mini lights (50–00)*
Scissors or sharp knife
Directions
Using scissors or a sharp knife, poke holes in the top of a box large enough for your infant or toddler to lie down in. Scissors tend to make bigger holes that makes it easier to push the lights through. Push the lights through the holes so that they can be seen when inside the box. Plug the lights into a nearby outlet and lay your infant or invite your toddler in the box. Your infant or toddler will love observing the twinkling lights about their head. Close supervision is needed.
*Note: I recommend you not use ultra-bright lights and always test the lights for heat before your child enters the box. Most mini lights do not get warm, but it’s always a good practice to test them.
