The supplies you will need are an empty can. A soup can or any can that is about the same size is fine. You can also use construction paper, Dora the Explorer stickers, Dora the Explorer pictures or coloring pages, scissors, tape, glue, markers, crayons, glitter, pom poms, and foil to make your pencil holder really stand out.

Choose the color you want from your construction paper. Hold it up to the can horizontally. Make sure the bottom of the paper touches the bottom of the can. Wrap it around the can. Make sure the paper is secure then glue the one side of the paper and connect the sides of paper together. Wait a few minutes for it to dry. Cut a little of the extra paper on top off with your scissors. Fold the top part of the paper down along the inside of the can. Then glue or tape it in place.
After you have the paper in place you are ready to decorate. Draw whatever designs you want with the markers and crayons. Next put your Dora the Explorer Stickers on, then cut out your Dora the Explorer pictures from your coloring pages or wherever and glue them on anyplace that you like. When your Dora the Explorer Stickers and Dora the Explorer Pictures are in place, put a thin layer of glue down were you want glitter and sprinkle it on.

When you are finished you will have your very own Dora the Explorer Pencil holder, that nobody else has but you.
