I can’t even think how expensive that giant track would have been as an actual store-bought product… If he wants to race cars with Theron on a giant track, well, by golly, we’ve got a giant cardboard track by the end of the day! (See it HERE!) The great part about it, though, is once our kids get tired of it, we throw it away! No guilt. This has carried through with his parenting. I wish I could say that when I say “kids” I mean elementary age, but this was in college. They perfected their armor both for looks and for protection. They worked hours on these elaborate shields and weapons. Toys, costumes, shields, swords, boxes that are the exact size that he wants, art… You name it, he will make it out of a cardboard box and duct tape.Īs kids, he and his friends would “battle” each other in the front yard. As long as I’ve known him (which is a long time, see “ Our Love Story“) he has always made things out of cardboard.
Color on it, slide down the stairs with it, make something out of it, pretend it’s a car! But my husband… Wow. I’m all about letting my kid have a box and run with imagination. This doesn’t even put a dent in my collection!Īt our house we go above and beyond with the cardboard.
The ease with which I found plenty of pictures of my kids playing in/with boxes was shocking. Don’t believe me? Go put your kid in a box! Right now! Ok, that sounds a little weird, but they’ll love it, trust me. When you have kids, cardboard boxes are pretty much the ULTIMATE toy. One of my very favorite things is cardboard boxes! I know, it’s weird, but it’s true. This post may contain affiliate links and we may earn compensation when you click on the links at no additional cost to you.
