10 Fun Things to Make From Leftover Boxes From Christmas
I know it’s the middle of January but my garage is still piled high with cardboard boxes from Christmas packages. Please tell me I’m not the only one. Instead of sending them all to the recycling bin, I thought maybe to help beat some of my cabin fever, I’d make some fun toys for Beck. Here are some projects I came across while brainstorming about what to create.
Cardboard Houses
Making a house from cardboard isn’t a new idea but I love the customization of these ones. Maybe my wallpaper remnants will be put to good use.

Airplane
If you cut a hole out of the bottom of this, it could be toted around Flintstones style.

Mailbox
Something about mail fascinates little people and since it’s unlikely they’ll be receiving much from the real mailbox, make their own special delivery system.

Top Hat
Think of all the different type hats you could make. You would have to have a tea party to wear them to.

Parking Garage
I didn’t have many toy cars growing up since I only had sisters but Beck already has a collection. This is a great place to park them all.

Guitars
Beck is always fascinated when my husband plays the guitar. If I made him one of these, he could get in on the music making action.

Play Town

Doll Bed
Beck doesn’t have any dolls but he does have some stuffed animals that would fancy this mini bed.
