Sick Day Activity: Decorate your Kleenex Box

Although, as the song goes, it’s the most wonderful time of the year, it can also be the most sneeziest time of the year for our family. The weather’s been extra weird this fall, going from warm to freezing and then back to warm over and over again. That, combined with the fact I have a kindergartener and a pre-schooler means the germs are pretty much everywhere these days. Luckily we’ve only had a couple days of sniffles, coughs, and not feeling our best, but we all know those days can be long. To help the day go by faster I’ve got a great Sick Day Activity – Decorate your own Kleenex® Box!!

The first think you’ll want to do, once you’re sitting at a place you can print from, is download this coupon for $1 off any multi pack of Kleenex from Target. Then, while you are at Target getting your Kleenex stop by the Dollar Spot and/or the craft aisle and pick yourself up a bunch of fun stickers, ribbon, foam shapes, etc. 

Dump all the fun stickers and embellishments on the table and let your kiddos get to work!

The best part about getting to decorate your own box of Kleenex is that there are FOUR canvases per box!!

We used some letter stickers to “write” each person’s name on their box but as you can see we all came up with very different boxes so it won’t be too hard to know whose is whose.

Of course I covered one side of mine in ribbon, you totally knew that was going to happen, right?

Letting your kids have fun decorating their own Kleenex boxes will help distract them for a while from the fact they aren’t feeling their best. It might even help brighten their day. Also, a decorate box of your favorite Kleenex would make an awfully sweet gift to a family member or special neighbor who might be dealing with Cold and Flu Season, too!

 Maybe now my three year old won’t go running from me every time I come near her to wipe her nose. Maybe.

    When my Dad was in the nursing home he received a decorated box of tissues from a local Sunday School Class. This gift was useful, needed, thoughtful, and very much appreciated. In addition, it didn’t take up a lot of space which is limited in many facilities. What a great way for young people to learn to give to others.
