  • Tissue box with paper cut out, ready to make a craft
    Step 1: Before you start, discard any lining from the tissue box. Step 2: Given your available materials, are you going to paint or cover the outside of the tissue box? Step 3: With your black marker or Sharpie, trace the “mouth” of the animal (the oval opening of the box). Alex Grant/Parks Conservancy
  • Tissue box with recycled paper covering its exterior and made to look like a bobcat in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
    Step 4: Glue your animal’s eyes (options include: googly eyes, cutout animal eyes from newspapers and magazines, or DIY) to the top of the box. Step 5: Using recycled white cardstock or paper, cut out your animal’s teeth and glue to the inside of the tissue box. Step 6: Finally, use pipe cleaners or paper shreds to add whiskers to the sides of the mouth. Alex Grant/Parks Conservancy
