This is not a kidscraft book – it is a collection of 12
cardboard carton creations to make for the
kids. Hot glue, spray paint, and craft knives are required – so you have to be
prepared for some heavy-duty cardboard-crafting. As recycling goes, the 12
jumbo cardboard box transformations are genius. The finished projects are big
fun – and they look totally professional.
Projects include a biplane, a dollhouse, a puppet theatre, a
rocket ship, a sailboat, and a retro stove (which you might want to make to
coincide with this year’s GBBO). High
ratings for imaginative play value. All are shoestring creations.
The projects are assembled from pieces of cardboard carton
which are pieced together with tape or
glue, and then camouflaged. Step-by-step photographic how-tos accompanied by clear text guide you through
the making. Everything is do-able – nothing overly complicated.
One thing to consider: you will need a large workspace as
well as the space to park your super-sized completed project.
