Directions:
- First cut your cardboard into 3×3 inch squares. You will want two pieces {top & bottom} for each smores busy bag set you want to make. Repeat.
- Now grab your Sharpie and draw small dashes in a line, in the center of each cardboard square to give the look of a graham cracker. Repeat for each cardboard piece.
- To finish it all off, grab your felt and cut out 3×3 inch squares for each cardboard pair you made. Repeat.
- Then pile it all together with a handful of cotton balls and hand it over to your child for “smore” making! All they need to do is place some felt and cotton balls between the cardboard pieces and BAM – instant smores!!!
