Can Rotating Shelves Activity

Thank you to all the wonderful sisters who came to our activity on Jan 18 at the church.  We had the gym full of glue guns, cardboard, rulers, and box cutters.  It was a really fun activity and the shelves that everybody made were wonderful.


Also here is a video of how the shelves work.  Courtesy of Foodstoragemadeeasy.net and youtube

Included here is a link that will give a diagram of how to mark the sides of the shelve before you begin to glue it together.  The link also shows a measurement table which needed to be amended a bit.  So below is the fixed table.  (we added 1/8" to the sides so that the cans wouldn't get stuck going down)
