    With Crayola Twistables™ Colored Pencils, make a list of helpful laundry tips. Look on the back of your detergent or ask someone in your house. You’ll find suggestions such as these: turn jeans inside out, lightly load the washer, read labels, separate colors, wash whites separately, empty pockets, save quarters.

    Cover a cardboard box and its lid with paper. Attach the paper with Crayola School Glue. Air-dry the glue. Trim off any extra paper with Crayola Scissors.

    Decorate your box using Crayola Twistables®. Add laundry tips and draw cool clothing. If you like, cut out clothing shapes, color them, and glue them on the box.

    Ask an adult to cut a slot in the top of the lid. If you like, wrap clothesline around the box for ribbon. Color clothespins with Twistables and clip them on for bows. Include a few quarters if you can.
