Prepare the crayon box

Open the top of the crayon box and cut off the top flap. Cut a U-shape in the front of the crayon box for an opening. Open the bottom of the box and snip out a piece to allow the charger's cord to run out of the bottom of the box. Reinforce the bottom of box with clear packing tape.

Print templates and create Uniqua

Using the template, trace Uniqua's head onto the pink foam. Trace the "antennae" onto the pink foam, as well. Using the template, cut out the background color.

Cut out all of the pieces.

Glue the background pieces onto the front of the crayon box. If you like, cut a narrow strip and glue it to the back tab of the crayon box, as we did.

As the glue dries, use the pink crayon to draw large dots on Uniqua's face. Then use the pen to draw the nostrils and mouth.

Glue the antennae to the back of the head. Then glue the head, complete with antennae, to the front of the box. Let dry.

Add the wiggly eyes, and then draw one eyebrow over each.

Set up the charging station
You can hang the charging station on a wall near the outlet in one of two ways: Either poke a hole for a nail or hook, so it can be hung on the wall. Or, add removable hanging strips to the back and another to the wall.

Get charging!
Drop Mom's phone, PDA, or MP3 player into the box. Slip the cord from the charger up through the bottom of the box, plugging it into the electronic device. When the charger is not in use, keep the cord pulled up through the bottom of the box where it is easily accessible next time charging is necessary.
