Train with boxes

Cardboard box train

Make a train craft from cardboard boxes. It's big enough for kids to sit in and to pull it.

As silly as it may sound, I LOVE working with cardboard. After moving fairly frequently in early childhood, I have definite fond memories of creating forts and other objects out of our used moving boxes, and I love watching kids' imaginations run free, both with the space of boxes themselves and also with what they can color/create themselves on the cardboard. With that in mind, for the past few years, I have tried to create a large-ish scale cardboard object for my kids' birthday parties…

This poor mans toy was made out of 5 or 6 Amazon boxes and wrapped in heavy duty wrapping paper. We hosted my son's 1st birthday party and it was train themed. The kids played with and ultimately destroyed the boxes but it was a fun party decoration on theme.
