We had a large box leftover from a recent online order. Boxes, are kid gold, right? You can do anything with a cardboard box! We decided on a puppet theater. I cut a rectangle in the top half. Then I took it to the garage and the girls painted it....pink, of course. Okay, no judgments. I know this is a far cry from the adorable homemade puppet theaters on Pinterest. But my kids are happy with it...so I'm happy with it. After all, this is a KID project.
After the pink dried, I reinforced the seam with some butterfly duct tape (come on- everyone has that around the house, right?) and also covered the edges of the rectangle. Then more painting...purple this time!
The girls love it because they made it themselves. I love it because it is cheap, easy, and I won't feel bad about using it for a few weeks (or however long they are interested in it) and throwing it out.
As a bonus, the girls discovered their theater doubles as a playhouse with the cut-out becoming a door!
