Cardboard is endless. It is a play material that can turn into anything - anything a child wants it to be and it is so plain and unaffected, the outcomes are endless. I write a lot about play that has no agenda in my new book A Moving Child Is a Learning Child. You might like to pick up a copy of that on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Moving-Child-Learning-Teaches-Brain/dp/1575424355/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1368608107&sr=1-1&keywords=a+moving+child+is+a+learning+child. Hope that helps.

He’s made up all kinds of games with them – a parking garage, a car “pool” wash, a garage. It sounds like he loves his cars, but he actually loves the boxes more – he won’t store the cars in there; they are all neatly arranged on his toy-shelf and his beloved cars get to “sleep” in a giant wicker basket!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02449273226067459046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726893531170058575.post-47106041190782893102013-08-01T21:13:28.536-04:002013-08-01T21:13:28.536-04:00This use to be my favorite thing as a kid.

We had loads of fun coming up with ideas of what we were going to do with it. We ultimately decided on a puppet theatre. We painted the box, cut the appropriate openings and even made curtains.
