- Laminate the cards if wished. This isn't essential but will help to ensure that they last longer and can be placed near the project as it is being undertaken.

Find a suitable unwanted box. Stick a photo of the finished project on top of this box. Arrange the cards in order of steps and put them inside the box.

Present the project-in-a-box to the students. Try to match a project to the skills, interests, age, and needs of each student. Let them follow the instructions and create the item from start to finish. It's a great way for homeschooled students to learn new skills and to create something interesting and/or useful in the process!
