I struggled for a while with this because I was not sure if Sophie could understand. Then I saw a Jack-in-the-box in one of Sophie's board books and decided to go ahead with it.
Sophie was quite spontaneous with scribbling nowadays. In fact, she was quite “stubborn” with what and how she wanted to draw. It took a lot of coaxing to get her to do what I thought as “more attractive”. Actually, I probably should not have even tried since she was happy with her work.
It was great that Sophie loved squeezing the glitter glue from the tube and rubbing it all over. Glitter glue made everything look pretty and it kind of strengthened the cardboard as well. I tried letting her work without her highchair again today. It was alright although I had to occasionally pull her back to the table.

It was probably a miracle that I could actually finish making "Jack" while trying to manage Sophie. I used my SKII box because it looked good enough by itself. "Jack" did not look as good as I had hoped though...
Sophie was quite neutral towards "Jack" unfortunately. I guess she could not really relate it to the real toy since she has never seen one.
