Make way for DIY cardboard projects: 12 ideas to create incredible crafts!
How many times do we put in the garbage packaging and cardboard boxes from some online purchase we have made? All that cardboard, however, could become the raw material to make a myriad of creations. In fact, there are many ideas for recycling cardboard and making fun toys for children, perhaps even to be built with their help. And there is no shortage of ideas for making objects that seem almost real, and which would also be good to display as knick-knacks.
Houses to play in, fake cars and ships to travel in and experience a thousand adventures, but also fake phones or cameras with incredibly realistic features: let yourself be inspired by the ideas detailed below:
What child would not love to fantasize about a thousand adventures whilst living in a hut? And if the hut has the shape of an igloo, the possibilities of wild adventures become even more possible!
A doll's house made entirely of paper: there is plenty to get creative about in imagining the furnishings for the paper house and then it can also be decorated with a marker or maybe even colored paints. It will also be easy to move around and carry.
An old, cardboard box is enough to become the king or queen of the castle, and the idea of using it to the threshold of a room is also inspirational - this way, just one cardboard wall becomes a whole castle!
A pair of scissors and glue are all you need for this project: a phone with a vintage look like this is very nice to look at, and if there are no children who want to play with it, it could be an amusing ornament on some table or shelf.
With cardboard you can create all the play sets that children like, such as kitchens and other appliances in toy version. But have you thought of creating a replica of a wood-fired oven (like that used to cook pizza in)?
Just a cardboard cutout and a pen and, voilà! - you have a toy, mobile phone. And there is also no risk that it will break!
Wouldn't it be nice to make a camera that replicates the features of proper one in a realistic way?
In stores you can also find cardboard "stereos" that are used to amplify the sound of smartphones. It would be nice to try to build one of these by hand too!
A multi-storey car park for everyone's vehicles, to be designed as you wish!
There she blows! Are you ready to embark on a thousand adventures on the high seas?

And for those who want it, you can also build a pirate ship to use outdoors. And it would not be bad even if used on the balcony or, if sufficient space is available, somewhere inside the home.
And what about the timeless idea of making cars for your diminuative drivers?
