Box o' Fun

I have become a big fan of ordering online. What I don't love is all the junk that comes along with those orders. But it really is true that kids are entertained by the simplest things. So please do recycle those boxes, but think like a kid... how can you get a little more bang for your box before they're chucked in the blue bin? Use them as giant building blocks for making towers and forts, big boxes can make a fun playhouse or puppet theater, and who can deny that kids seem to find just sitting in them irresistible. Cardboard can also be repurposed to make stencils or patterns for your kiddos learning to write.
