DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Uncle Sam Box for Games, Wishes or Candy

Uncle Sam Boxcontributed by Leanne Guenther

You can replicate the same type of craft using craft foam by tracing the template pieces onto foam and drawing on a few of the details.

It turns out really cute just with paper though -- the directions assume you'll be doing it just with paper

The Uncle Sam box is great for putting in clues for charades or treasure hunts to play at a Fourth of July party.  You can also put in prayers or wishes for friends and family or for candies.  A kleenex box can also be used while still full of kleenex and set around as a decorative touch during the Fourth of July season.
