String Pull Box

Materials: 

1. Shoe box
2. String
3. Fabric (optional)
4. X-ACTO knife

How to Make: 

First, I took some time to decorate my box with fabrics in order to cover words that weren't visually appealing. Then, I used a hobby knife to make a slit in the top on the box. This is where your first string will go be insterted. Place the string through the hole and knot it so that it can't be completely pulled out of the box. Find where you would like the string to come out on another side of the box, and cut another slit in that location. Pull the rest of the string through and make a knot on that side.

The child should be able to pull the string back and forth without the string coming out of the box. This is a cause and effect type work. Repeat action until you have several different strings, and then seal box.
