Oatmeal container cookie box
As a family, gather together the materials that you will use for decorating your oatmeal box. You may want to cover the container in gift wrap. Another idea is to cover the container in a plain paper and then draw or paint your decorations on the outside. You can use fabric and ribbon to add a more elegant touch to the container. You can use old cards or calendar photos to put under the lid so that your gift recipient will not be able to see right through the box. Inside of the box of course the item of choice is probably to fill it with cookies but there are many other treats that an oatmeal container is perfect for housing. Using a coffee can as a pan, you can bake round cakes that will fit perfectly into your oatmeal container gift box. Fudge or homemade candies are also perfect contents for your fun family oatmeal container craft project.
As you can see there is an oatmeal craft for every type of family’s ability and time commitment. Working together as a family to think creatively is beneficial to the children because they are able to see how to work well with others. Parents are able to enjoy the time that they have with their children by doing something different and creative that everyone can enjoy.
Hot Dog Roaster
Are you a member of a family that likes to go out and do things together? Do you camp a lot? If you do, this next craft is sure to not only be a lot of fun but very useful as well. Even if you do not go camping, this oatmeal container hot dog roaster can be used just as easily in the backyard.
Oatmeal container hotdog roaster
To make an oatmeal container hot dog roaster, take your oatmeal container and cut it in half lengthwise (cut the bottom of the container and the lid). Punch a hole in the lid and in the bottom of the container about 1/2 way from the cut end. Cover the whole container with aluminum foil, making sure you leave the holes open that you have punched and that the lid is still on the container. Place a hotdog on a wooden dowel and place the ends of the dowel through the holes. Place the roaster on a charcoal grill or in a smoldering fire pit until the hotdog is cooked through.
