How to decorate a cardboard box?

Question

My daughter needs ideas to decorate this cardboard box to keep her busy for a few hours. She loves pink, flowers, make-up, barbie.

Answer 1

This is not exactly related, but if you would like more things for her to do. Take a barbie scene that you can find and create it in 3D. It could be really cute and when your done, she can decorate it. Then, she has new barbie furniture to play with. You could even make a salon! Make sure to include pink, floral, designs.

Answer 2

Have her decorate it with pictures of flowers and stars then go around the edges of the flowers with glue and paste glitter on them.

When done she could have a jewelry box for herself.

Answer 3

Well if she likes pink, flowers, make-up and barbie, might I suggest that she use that as a theme. Meaning, she could take what she likes from the barbie world and put it together to create something unique. (fairytopia, mariposa, myscene, etc.) You can check out everythinggirl.com for some more ideas.

Answer 4

I would first have her paint the box pink.  While the paint dries, she can draw and color some flowers, maybe look in magazines for pictures of flowers or even make some from tissue paper (takes longer than just painting the flowers on the box and looks 3-dimensional when glued on the box).  Pictures of makeup and barbies work as well.  My girls also loved making small bows and gluing them on the box.  She should paint and decorate the inside of the box as well, but no 3D stuff on the inside, because it will get ruined when things are stored inside.
