DIY Cardboard Boxes Activities for Kids

On April 22nd of every year, the world celebrates Earth Day. Thousands of events are held throughout the world in support of protecting the environment. An easy way to celebrate at home with your kids is to make arts-and-crafts projects using reusable or recyclable material such as cardboard boxes. Below are five creative ways to use cardboard boxes as a craft medium.

1. Mailbox – Play postman/post office with a neat cardboard mailbox. Your kids can send letters, cards, and packages to other family members in the household.

2.  Puppet Stage – Use two large cardboard boxes to make a puppet stage. Children can decorate the outside of the boxes using markers or waterproof paint. Then use some fabric to create the curtains for the stage.


 3. Build a store – Whether it is a donut shop, candy shop, or convenient store, you can use a couple of large cardboard boxed to build a “play” store for your kids. Cut out some windows to display the items for sale and if the box is large enough, you can even cut out a door.




















4. Build a castle – Using cardboard boxes and four inner tubes from paper towel roles, your kids can create an elegant castle with all the frills and accessories of a real castle.















5. Make a guitar – Grab some corrugated cardboard boxes, a wooden dowel, and a few rubber bands to create this unique cardboard guitar for your kids.

  1. Hey my friends I tell you some tips about moving box. Reinforce the bottom of the box with packing tape. This is especially important if the box has already been broken down and is used. This will ensure that any items in the box don't fall through the bottom in transit.
