Every Monday morning my daughter and I would go grocery shopping at Target and of course stop by the Starbucks to grab a coffee and cake pop. She’s always shown interest in helping put the groceries on the conveyor belt and inserting the credit card. Every time an employee scans an item, she would say “thank you”. Once we get home she loves helping me bring in the groceries, put them away and of course have another snack. After realizing how much she loves Target and Starbucks I asked my parents to help me make her a special Christmas gift!

(we got everything from Menards)
1 - ¼” x 8” x 4’ Red Oak (Yellow in pictures)

1 - Handy Panel ¼” x 24” x 48” (we used the Java side) (Orange in pictures)
1 - 8 fl oz Christmas Green Paint or any other color similar to the Starbucks green
- You can buy different materials besides Red Oak. We used pre cut pieces individually wrapped.

2. Cut the ¼” x 8” x 4’ Red Oak 37 ½” in length
3. Cut 2 of the 1” x 3” x 4’ pieces in half and keep the other 2 the length they are
