To assemble the centers, photocopy each page on colored paper (or have children decorate), and cut out the title and directions along the lines as indicated. Glue the title to the outside of the box to create a label (on the end or side that will show when you stack and store the shoe boxes). Glue the directions to the inside of the lid. Assemble and prepare any other necessary materials (such as manipulatives and reproducible activity pages), and place these in the box. You may want to enlist parent volunteers to help with this process.
