Cardboard Houses
Make a cozy crawl-and-play space out of cardboard to ensure your child won't get hurt or stuck.
Materials
Directions
Turn one box on its side so that the opening is perpendicular to the floor. Cut off the top entirely and save this part for the roof. Tape together the flaps of the box.
The piece you just saved is half of the roof. Cut 1/4 of it off. If you want a steeper roof, cut off more.
From the second box, cut out another roof piece that is the same size as the first. Tape them together at an angle to form the peak of the roof.
Tape the roof and house together.
For the window on the big house, make a cross with duct tape, then box it off with four strips of tape. With a craft knife, cut out the four squares inside the window "panes."
Lay the house down on its backside, trace the triangle onto another piece of cardboard. Cut this out, then attach with tape. Add a "trim" around the edges with more tape.
