Homemade Detective Kit!

My Nephew is going to be 5, he is a very imaginative, creative boy. I thought I would make him an extra special birthday present.  I purchased a plain photo box from Michael's, along with a few other items and created a " Detective Kit"!  First, I decorated the photo box with Water color paints, sharpies and puffy paint!

Here are some of the items that went into the detective kit. 

1) Top secret envelopes, where I put obscure clues to help him when he plays imagination. 

 2) Specimen Swabs- to help gather evidence. 

3) some magnifying glasses found at Michael's.

 4) A fingerprinting kit, using index cards and a stamp pad

 5)  a detective flashlight 

6) Plastic bags that I wrote " evidence" on with puffy paint

 7) Whisk Brooms ( found at Michael's)  

8) Fingerprint lifting tape 

9) A journal and a pen

I also added some instructions so he would know how to use all these items!

Here are some close ups of all the items that are included in the kit

 Hope you like this! I sure had a fun time making this for him!!
