We planned a Bob the Builder “worker” party for our son’s fourth birthday. We considered making a house out of cardboard boxes for the kids to hammer and paint, but ended up with a super fun and super simple plan. We called four Starbucks stores and they were willing to save their boxes (we arranged to pick them up according to each store’s unpacking schedule). We did not even use tape, just folded the flaps in. My husband gave the kids challenges as a group and in teams to build a wall and a building. They loved it, especially knocking them down! This was a super fun, free activity!

Great idea! We had a cardboard boz this week, too, though my little one was much more interested in the contents than in the box itself.

I missed the linky yesterday, but I participated in Frugal Friday. My post is here – http://www.feelslikehomeblog.com/2009/04/frugal-fun-packing-material/

OH the days of playing with boxes. We’ve always ascribed to your philosophy also. Once our kids reached a certain age, if they came in and told me they were bored, they had to clean. That usually stopped that! And years later, it came to help my middle son. He was on the cleaning crew at his charter school and one of the ‘detention’ punishments for middle and upper grades was to be on the cleaning crew. You didn’t get to detention, do your homework and then do whatever when you got home. You worked and still had to do your homework. Works very well. And if they run out of things for detention students to do, they came to my son. They ended up cleaning the baseboards with toothbrushes, straightening and dusting bookshelves in the classrooms, putting them back EXACTLY as they were to be, cleaning whiteboards…

I remember using huge cardboard boxes as a kid! Only we didn’t get so sophisticated as to paint them..we used crayons…lol!

Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Great post! One of my favorite books as a kid was “Christina Katerina and the Box” – it’s about the evolution of a big box they find and all the different things they pretend it can be as it is used and abused over time.

My toddler loves boxes too. She got a bike for her second birthday and so far has a much fun with the box as with the bike. You gotta love their creativity at this age.
