Max & Ruby Clutter Busters

"Dress up" empty containers in outfits like the ones Max and Ruby wear. We used scrap-book paper, but fabric would work as well.

The rabbits run every day on Nick & NIck Jr.

You'll need to allow extra time for glue or paint to dry.

This craft has plenty of steps kids can do, like tracing, coloring, decorating, and cutting with safety scissors.

Create with us skills involve self-expression, experimentation, and imagination through visual arts (like painting and sculpting), dramatic play, cooking, and dance.

Ages: 3-6

Materials

An empty can or container
Scrapbooking paper for a "t-shirt"
Scrapbooking paper for a "dress" or "overalls"
Safety scissors
Glue
Dark pencil or marker

Tip: Any decorative paper, including scrapbook and wrapping paper can be used for this project.

Directions

Step 1: Cut and glue
Cut a strip the height of the can from the paper that will represent Max or Ruby�s "t-shirt." Glue the strip to the can or container.
Step 2: "Dress up" the containers
Cut a strip the height of the can from the paper that will represent Max's overalls or Ruby's dress. Then cut a notch and two "armholes" at the center of the strip. Glue on top of "shirt."
Step 3: Draw the finishing touches
With the pencil or marker, draw a pocket and buttons.

Tip: For simpler gluing, dip a small paintbrush in glue and apply it to the entire container. Then affix the paper.
