In one of my last posts I wrote about the cardboard houses we had made. That was a fun activity for the kids! Some days later I recycled the cardboard houses into a bigger cardboard construction for kids: we made a long tunnel.
First I cut a second opening out from Victoria’s and Lukas’s houses to turn them into tunnels. However Victoria insisted to have a door to her tunnel, so we connected back the door-piece with Makedo(great for connecting cardboard). This was easy and fun. I did the punching, and Victoria was busy connecting everything together.
Since a tunnel out of two boxes was not long enough, we added a third box in the middle. And to make it more fun for the kids I stuck 6 stocking pants through the roof of the middle box. The kids love it that they have to make their way through the socks jungle!
That was so fun that Elena also came to investigate our crafts work and to be part of the fun!
For this crafts activity we used:
- 3 cardboard boxes
- 6 pairs of stocking pants (you can also use ribbons or scarfs if you don’t have long stockings)
- Makedo, a great toy that let’s you connect cardboard box and pieces to each other
