Altoids Tin Travel Kit

Create a fun, useful, and pocket-sized kit to take everywhere you go or use in the house!

-A fun project to do with kids you're babysitting, siblings, friends, or just by yourself!
-Altoids tins are some of the coolest creations on earth. They smell good, they're a convenient size, they look great, and they can be used for all sorts of needs!
-This is a chameleon project. It can always change and improve with you.

Disclaimer: It's not my original idea.  Several have come up with it, and I took the ideas of many hard workers.  Thanks so much!

Step 1 What you need

Altoids Tins
Plastic bag to put extra mints in
Pen
Marker
Paper
Rubber bands
Various tiny objects around the house!

Here's what we used:

Gum and mints (coughaltoidscough)
Stickers
Tiny game timers
Quarters for parking meters and vending machines
Chapstick
Small pencils
Crayons
Erasers
Small action figures
Keychain action figures
Small treasures
Homemade notebooks
Tissues
Homemade lego checkers/chess
Papers with checker/chessboards, tic tac toe pads, and addresses cut to fit lids
Nail clippers
Small rosaries
Swisstech folding tool device thing (my brother's)
Marbles

You get the picture. However, you don't need to collect these things until after you've started the 4th step. Also, if you don't think it will all fit, collect it all anyway. You'll narrow it down later. Please read on!
