Make things out of cardboard boxes
When I was young I used to make things out of cardboard boxes. Here are some ideas to start you off. Train, Car, Castle, Boat, Phone, Garage, Tent and so on. Please send your other ideas to us by using the form below. (Note from mum- If you want to paint them it's a good idea to do this outside on a warm day- much less messy and the lawn seems to recover rather better than the carpet, Boxes are definitely a mums best friend. They are a great source of inspiration and a real chance for the children to use their imaginations. I have spent many happy hours being a passenger on a box bus.)
Boxes can usually be obtained from your local supermarket. Ask the staff if they do not usually make them readily available for customers as some supermarkets flatten them for easy disposal. Old TV and computer monitor boxes make super building materials and an electrical goods superstore may be a very good source of supply.
