We share a small living space. 2. We have a baby in our midst who is prone to trouble and spilling. 3. 4. 5.

Cardboard Toys Roundup. Behold the humble cardboard box - our house is full of these, and today I am taking a break from sewing to extol its virtues as a craft medium.
Emily loves playing post office. After a trip to the Children's Museum a couple of years ago, she wanted to recreate the experience of sorting and delivering letters. Over the ensuing months, we collected various accessories (scroll down) to help her do just that - a small mail bag, re-used envelopes, square stickers for stamps, rectangular stickers for address labels, and a random coat or two for her uniform. This weekend, watching her and Jenna make a multitude of letters, an idea formed in my head that I couldn't get out. Sweet Village Birthday Party. When I saw pics of this birthday party, I literally gasped.
Busy mama Natalie (she gave birth to her second daughter just 3 weeks before this party) built a village – yes, a village – for her daughter’s 2nd birthday. Using scrap boxes, inexpensive fabric and a whole lot of imagination, she created a sweet shoppe, dental office, grocery store, and boutique. Oh, and handmade felt food and a yummy buffet to top it all off.

In fact, at one time, real rough-and-tumble playthings — such as the roadster you see here — were commonly made from cardboard . . . and were quite able to endure the punishment dished out by an earlier (and maybe even rowdier!)
Generation. None of this was lost on research staffer Dennis Burkholder, who's always been fascinated by paper art . . . and by things costing very little (or no) money. OK, so you've laid out your two 48" X 60" corrugated sheets, outlined the car's various parts on them as indicated, and cut the pieces from the paper panels.

Instructions (briefly)- The main fuselage is made from one box and tail wing etc made from other bits and pieces. First open one end of box, which will be the bottom, then tape the edges together. The other end of the box which is on top and closed will be cut into the shape of the wings, one for each side (tape them on).
