Repurpose your empty mac and cheese box into something useful—a box camera! With just a few household items, you can create a box camera that's a great tool for exploring your creative side and learning about framing and composition.
What you need
1 empty box (7-1/4 oz.) KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese Dinner
1 empty toilet paper roll
Tape
Scissors (optional)
Marker
Make it
(psst...check the boxes next to each step to mark as complete)
Tape the end of the box that is open with a piece or two of tape.
Trace the end of the toilet paper roll on the front of the KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese Dinner box. Draw a small rectangle in the upper right corner of the box. Repeat it on the other side of the box. Use your scissors to cut out the hole and the two rectangles. Ask a grown up for help with this step!
Cut about 1 inch off the end of the toilet paper roll with your scissors. Fold it like an accordion. This will be your button.
Tape your “button” to the top of the box. Insert the remaining toilet paper roll into the hole in front. Have fun playing with your camera!
