The ABC’s of Cardboard Creations
If you have ever wondered what to make with cardboard then this is for you. You probably have a load of cardboard boxes lying around from Christmas or have commented that the kids seem to enjoy playing with the box more than the toy in side. Well this week I’m going to bring you lots of inspiration for making something really amazing.
You see this week I am taking part in a truly immense blogging series with over 100 other bloggers from the Kid Blogger Network. Each blogger is tackling different themes to do with kids. My theme is cardboard creations and I am bringing you an idea for every letter of the alphabet from aeroplanes to zoos. Cardboard is probably my favourite material to make things with. It’s free, it’s easy to cut up and as you will see it’s incredibly versatile.
This page will link all the days together so make sure you check back at the end of the week to find them. Don’t forget to follow me on Facebook or get free updates by subscribing to my RSS feed to get all updatesl.I also have a jam-packed Pinterest board called Cardboard Creations so make sure you are following that as I will add to it over the year.
This is where you will find all the posts:
