> Stick the acetate to the perspex with masking tape. 

> If you do not have a piece of perspex or acetate you can draw straight onto a window (use a non-permanent marker).

> Decide who will draw first and who will be drawn

 >> The person drawing should…

        ... check which side the acetate sheet is on  

        ... hold the Perspex in front of their subject’s face

        ... use the black marker to draw the outline of their face and features

 >> The person being drawn should…

        ... sit as still as they can!

> When a drawing is finished, swap places!

> Collect objects and images that relate to the theme or topic you would like to discuss

> When choosing objects think about what makes them interesting and engaging: What are their tactile and sensory qualities, could they prompt questions about what they are or how they are used, might they evoke memories or feelings?

> Include images of objects and things that do not fit in the box and other relevant print material.

> Provide materials for drawing and writing as well as having verbal conversations. Postcards can work well as they are a recognisable space for dialogue.

> Preparing conversation prompts in advance can be help to keep the conversation going and they could be printed on cards in the box.

> Presenting the box with the lid on allows for a reveal and intrigue about what is inside. You could ask the other person to guess what is inside and maybe provide a small clue through the type of box or something on the outside of it.

> Take the objects out one by one and spend time exploring together. 

> Discuss, draw, and/or write in response.
