You can’t beat a cardboard box!  I know so many parents who have spent a fortune on a birthday or Christmas present only to find that their child enjoyed the cardboard box it came in way more than the actual present!  Here’s some ideas to inspire you:

1. I made this castle box for my nephews a couple of years ago to put all of their Christmas presents in – they were playing with the box longer than the presents!

2. Ikatbag has this Faraway Tree House.

3.  Mini Mocha has this idea for a cardboard box plane.

4.  The Taylors has this cute kitchen!

5.  A Happy Wanderer has this simple idea using a box and some cardboard tubes.
