You want to be a good mom, don't you? For your child to think not only about cartoons and new toys, but also happily anticipate what interesting things he/she may do at home. To recall these hours in adult life with feeling of a small miracle. You get so much great information from the Internet — there is a lot of inspiration and ideas, but in the end everything somehow ends up with a fit of apathy and self-flagellation, while the baby is sitting in front of a laptop. Okay, it's not always like this, but it's pretty common.

Even here a plan can help — do not forget to write interesting ideas down and distribute them in the calendar on days when you have enough time and efforts. It would also be great for children classes to be "long-playing" and, of course, ideally would require minimal material investment. Here we have a versatile toy — an ordinary cardboard box. I do not even know another such thing, which can be found at home and you can make plenty of things with it. Something from this collection is sure to entice your baby as well!

The simplest is, of course, houses. Endless space for imagination!

Here is an "advanced" option: not just a house, but a whole school with everything you need.
Using the cover is so easy, convenient and cozy :)

You can make houses not only for toys, but also for yourself:

Another direction of "box" games is to make household items. They can be almost real size :) Kids are so fond of playing adulthood:

A little more patience and you may even have a laptop:

You can play in the world around and make the elevator:

Fruit stand:

Or even a coffee shop:

What do almost all children like? Of course transport!
You can make a car:

You can make a lot of cars for a children's party. Though I rather doubt a regular collective watching of cartoons :)

These options are more serious. Train:

Peaceful aircraft:

Even a fighter:

The game, which will definitely delight the kids, is a labyrinth, open or closed. A real adventure!

Finally, the most cozy and interesting, in my opinion, ideas.
Camera. Cardboard is a miracle of technology!

TV! Instead of watching a video about how to play with toys (you know, now these are especially popular), the child can portray such a program himself! He/she can sing, read poems or tell weather forecast :)

Mini-football. In stores such toys are rarely available.

A set of suitcases for real little travelers:

Gates to the knight's castle:

Just a mysterious box to hide in. :)

Of course, an activity that many never get bored with — puppet theater to play your favorite stories:

Do you play with any on this list with your kids? Do you remember such games with a cardboard box from your childhood? What would you like to try?
