Michelangelo's Box

Materials: Large cardboard box (big enough for a child's playhouse) and art pictures or printed famous paintings. You could use images of the Sistine Chapel or any other art! Glue or tape pictures inside the top of the box and have kids lie down and look up at their artistic ceiling using a flashlight. A great time to include a lesson on Michelangelo and read a book about him!
