locked treasure chest

Treasure chests are kind of exciting, aren’t they? And this one even comes with a lock! It’s perfect for curious first graders because they can make it while learning how a lock works.
The process is to use cardboard to create the box, lid, and key parts, then assemble them.
As long as you cut and prepare the parts correctly, you can just glue them together and the build will go smoothly.
Since you’ll be using a hot glue gun to bond the cardboard, be careful to avoid burns while working.
There’s a URL in the video description where you can download the templates, so be sure to check it and give it a try!
