We had a package delivered to our house the other day, which came in a decent sized box. Inside that box was a slightly smaller box. The person shipping our package was just doubling up on protection I guess.
Both boxes are “Michelle size”. In other words, my daughter fits inside both of them. Oh these things are fun. As long as I can keep a 15 month old’s attention, I get to use my imagination to figure out what these boxes are going to be next.
They started out as simple holding containers. We would put her inside, throw some toys in, and play peek-a-boo with the edge pieces. Once that got old, the boxes were flipped on their side to make a cave we could poke our heads into. They then flipped over and we were able hide stuff in the boxes. All are mystifyingly great to the kiddo.
After about a week of these disposable toys hanging out in our living room, they’re beginning to wear a little. So I’ve begun customizing them into costumes; Calvin and Hobbes style. We’ve got the robot eyes cut out on one box, and I pulled one of the edges off, cut some eyes out and made that into what looks like a welding mask.
Cardboard magic is limited to your own imagination. I can’t wait to try out the next idea I come up with. Anyone have suggestions?
