Box monsters, mini toy box

Okay, my girls came up with this one on their own. They took these boxes out of the recycling bin. They liked the fact that they opened up and thought it looked like a mouth. They asked for google eyes and decorations. This is what they came up with. For about a week they carried them around the house and would eat up the toys as they went around. Hey, a good clean-up trick. I got tired of looking at them and now they are recycling. Fun and cheap

Polly pocket cardboard dollhouse or toy car garage

Here is another idea for a polly pocket or small dollhouse. My girls have actually been using it as a house for their Cars(Tow Mater and McQueen). We recycled the last dollhouse. I love disposable toys.

This was a very sturdy box that we received. I cut a large hole in the back and top for easy access. A few windows and a couple of doors that can open or close. Then the girls decorated it with markers.

Cardboard Box Castle

We turned a delivery box into a fun afternoon craft. I quickly cut holes for windows, a mail slot and a few peep holes. You'll notice that I spent very little time on the design, but the girls didn't mind at all. I brought out a bag of markers and the let them color to their hearts content. We later added a plastic bag to the door so that the doors would stay closed. We've had this in our backyard for 3 weeks now and both of my girls still play in it.
