As a supplier of cardboard boxes, Racer Boxes knows how much recycling goes into delivery products. As a green alternative for packaging, cardboard is surprisingly efficient—but not all recycling has to be turning old boxes into new boxes. If there are kids around, recycling cardboard can be an artful and delightful way to kill time.
With summer in full swing, there maybe a lot of bored kids (and frantic parents) in search of activities. With the current push towards encouraging sustainability, teaching kids how to take unused or unwanted items and turn them into something new is a positive life lesson. And getting crafty with old cardboard boxes are the perfect way to start.
For example, everyone knows the method for making a guitar using an empty tissue box and rubber bands. Try kicking the project up a notch, either by sketching out a fancy flat guitar design, or combining it with a hollow box that will still work with rubber bands.
Many kids have also made cardboard mailboxes at school for Valentine’s Day, and this idea can’t be used anytime. Small die-cut mailers can be just the right size to turn into a kid-sized mailbox. If there are several kids in the home, they can send each other messages, or the parent can send them little notes detailing chores and other items, which can make mundane activities more fun.
Any number of homemade toys can be crafted from a large stock carton cardboard box, from play versions of home appliances (such as a stove or a TV set they can be the star of) to race cars and hobby horses (it’s just a horse head on a stick, after all). And, if there is enough cardboard lying around, it’s even possible to make rudimentary shelves that will store all kinds of creations!
