First aid box for kids school

Hello everyone,
                          We made this first aid box for a school assignment.It was done by a fourth grader.There is nothing fancy about it.Just a simple normal box, but it is being posted to give other parents a quick general idea for the same project.

So we started with a shoe box,covered it with white paper all over,used red sticky tape to make plus signs.Used decorative silver tape to make the edges look tidier.We also jotted down some emergency details on one side like the family doctor's name,emergency telephone numbers,blood group of the family members,allergies.You can add more details.......:)

Then we made partitions with another cardboard box and covered them in white paper too.And put
in the medicines.

 

Then my son asked me for adding a pair of scissors.I told him I did not have a spare one,and at 10 in the night we couldn't even buy one,to which he said,"Ok,I'll make one".And I was like how on earth can you make a scissor?????

He traced around our existing scissors and cut around it.And as it was a dummy first aid box,that was perfectly acceptable.Sometimes kids can come up with the most innovative solutions.He also cut a tab out of a piece of paper and pasted both the ends and slipped the scissor inside.See how it looks-

At the end of it we added a paper handle to one side.....:)We also slipped in a
