It isn’t called Boxing Day for nothing. After a day spent opening lots of beautifully wrapped presents there is usually a whole pile of boxes to recycle. Rather than just disposing of them why not turn them into something fun to play with – children always prefer the box anyway! Here is a list of over 100 projects you can make using cardboard.
Of course you will need a few other things for these projects but you’d be surprised how little children need to do to a box to transform it in their minds. Really all they need is there imagination.
