Family Fun With A Cardboard Box

The funnest and most inexpensive toy in the world is a big or small cardboard box.



The house in front of us was being remodeled and I noticed some appliance boxes in the front.  I asked if I could have them and it soon became the imagefavorite adventure for weeks to come.  They children will become creative in what they want to turn it into and then designing it.  Here are some of the benefits of getting a "free" cardboard box for your kids.

1.  It encourages creativity,

2. Engineering skills in designing it,

3. Bonding with each other as siblings as they play together,

4. Bonding with parents as they work together  to make the pretend play,

5. Money saver,

6. So much fun and much more!

This particular box was a kitchen at one point.  Then it became a house to come to visit.  The next week, it was a food stand, then a camping tent.  It got so wilted that it ended up in the garage because we were too sad to part with it.  It remained there until out it went.
