Top 10 Cardboard Box Toys

To celebrate Earth Day here is a collection of ten cardboard box toys – the perfect upcycling activity that everyone will love!

Top 10 Cardboard Box Toys that kids will love!

The following post contains affiliate links, which means that at no extra cost to you I can make a tiny bit of money to help support this blog. Thank you!We’ve been thinking a lot recently about recycling and upcycling. Crafts like this Egg Carton Butterfly were made out of recyclables and it is such a fun way to get one more use out of the items before sending them on their way to get recycled. Last year I was one of the authors of this wonderful book: Green, Crafty & Creative. Not only does it feature crafts made from recyclables, but also crafts from natural materials and eco-friendly ideas for your family and home. I am so proud to be a part of this collaborative work and it fits in so perfectly with the theme of Earth Day! It is available in paperback, ebook and Kindle formats – buy a copy and get inspired today!

Green Crafty & Creative - the book

Cardboard boxes always seem to hold a huge fascination for little ones – so when compiling a “top ten” for Earth Day it seemed like an obvious focus. Here are  a wide variety of toys that you can make from a humble cardboard box – some are decorated and covered, some are left quite plain. I love all of them!
