Instructions

1. Cut an "X" into the lids of film
canisters using an X-acto knife or
scissors (adult only).
2. Give a film canister to each
child. Encourage the
children to decorate the
film canisters with
stickers, address labels, and
markers.
3. Demonstrate how to use this as a
toothbrush holder by placing a
toothbrush bristle end down
into a canister (with lid
removed), and then pushing
the lid down the handle of the
toothbrush to close the canister.
4. Let the children bring them home to
use as toothbrush holders.
