Easy Cardboard Box Projects for Kids
Kids love cardboard and cardboard boxes! This is true. Everybody knows it. There is something about the blank slate of an empty cardboard box that fires up a child's imagination.
Let's cultivate that imagination and give the kids some creative projects they can make with cardboard! The sky is the limit!!
