Amanda, from Essex, UK, created this Chocolate Explosion Box with her son, Finley for Father’s Day. Let’s take a look at it…
What did you do?
We used old Christmas boxes that we already had at home and I used a Stanley knife to cut the edges. My son and I then had fun sticking the chocolate bars to the edges.
I think that you’d only be able to cut the edges with a Stanley knife as they are so well constructed. You’ll also need a chopping board so that you don’t ruin your surfaces with the knife.
Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…
My name is Amanda and I have one 5 year old son named Finley. We are from Linford in Essex (UK).
How are you finding being housebound so far?
Finley has been doing absolutely amazing at home schooling, but it is tough juggling work, home schooling and fun/play time. My husband has been going out to work throughout the whole lockdown so I have had to sort it all on my own.
But, all in all, lockdown has been enjoyable and we’ve made lots of lovely memories.
Do you have any tips for other parents?
Don’t stress and don’t give yourself a hard time. You’re trying your best and you’re doing amazing!
