Little boxes

[cecmel]

Anyone out there got any bright ideas about where I could get small boxes for making jack-in-the-boxes? We currently use match boxes, but my supply of empty boxes is about to run out, and since hubby stopped smoking, I haven't been able to find a new supplier. Cheap would be good, free/recycled would be better.

Perhaps for next year you could put out a notice in your school news letter for people to keep their matchboxes from home? I'm sure there'd be a lot of people who use matches to light their winter fires and you might get a good supply from them.

I can save our used match boxes if you like, as we still light bunsens with matches. Have just thrown some out!

Thanks Robyn, that sounds great. Will catch up with you at one of the Academy of Science talks
