Front Side of the Box:
Get a white or light-colored piece of plain thick paper and do all the following before gluing it on the cereal box.
- Start with writing and drawing the name and picture of the cereal invented by yourself and related to the title of the fictional book you are going to make and still sounds like the name of a cereal.
- Choose suitable shapes, colors and designs for your picture and name writing relating to the theme of the book you selected.
- For example, if you liked Harry Potter, a cereal named ‘Magic Delights’ will work great and toasted oat cereals in the shape of Harry Potter’s magic wand will look relatable.
Right Side of the Box:
The other thing you should include is the story elements from your book. These can be all the characters and settings in your story from existing writing in the chosen book or a new one created by you.
