Great use of card materials and it looks relatively easy. Hey wait a minute – it doesn’t look that easy, but very good. Kids love this kind of play especially with the finished reult. A real sense of achievment. Airfix was my thing – anybody remember that?

Iâ??ve had a worm farm and found the fruit flies difficult. How do you deal with them here?

Nice!I’ve seen a lot of projects using plastics all over the web. I think this is one of the best projects I’ve seen using boxes. I really like the birdhouse. Did you make the artwork? What other projects do you have in mind?

Lands End did this one year with the cartons used to ship items at the holidays. The kids had a great time with the creative uses suggested. I grew up making doll houses and puppet theatres from boxes, covering them with scraps of wallpaper, making curtains from scraps of fabric, etc.

I reuse checkbook boxes for drawer organizers, candy boxes, ditto, and if I want to go totally Martha, cover them in matching scraps of leftover fabric or the comics from the newspaper!

The light/lamp can be for a solar light!!! No worries about fire!

There is a story that imagining the most beautiful lamp is much more difficult than the funkiesst, weirdest, or ugly lamp. Coming up with something odd like Dr. Seuss odd is much easier to do than coming up with “Tiffany Perfect.” Who knows, maybe that is how Tiffany came up with his beauty? He imagined the odd first.
