My second grade son has to make a Valentine’s Day card box for school to collect his cards and treats. My son is obsessed with lizards, so it wasn’t a surprise when he said he was going to make a Lizard Valentine’s Day box. But, it is a surprise at how good it turned out. He used a shoebox for a body and a small Puff’s Tissue box for the head. He cut a hole in the bottom of the Puff’s box and the top of the shoe box and aligned them, so a person has to reach in the “mouth” to drop off their card. He put white paper triangles on for teeth to make it look extra scary. Below is a close up of the mouth, the red arrow is pointing to the hole that leads to the “belly” of the Beast. He said it needs spikes, the bottom pictures show the final Lizard with spikes! He brought it to school on Thursday and all the other kids just loved it. Everyone had to stick their hand into the mouth! The class is having a contest and the people who made the 4 best boxes will get McDonalds for Lunch with the teacher. We think he has a good chance of winning, but even if he doesn’t win, he has a really cool box to store stuff in. Plus, his Dad is already thinking of how to make it a prop for a Dungeon!

You know this will be a great dungeon, possibly a temple to the dragon Surma, or a shrine for a lizardman tribe.
This is inspired. At 25/28 mm scale, I’d say you have an epic-level foe there.
Love the teeth.
Thanks Alric! It would make an excellent Epic-level foe! I was thinking that the box could actually be a dungeon. The back pops off, and I could easily put some one inch graph paper inside and some fun stuff in the belly of the beast.
BTW: My son did win the contest; having one of 4 of the best boxes he gets to have McDonalds for Lunch with his teachers!
