Cardboard is probably one of the highest produced recyclable materials that comes to school campuses in the form of delivery boxes.
We see these boxes anoither way, as saw materials to use in a number of creative ways. Cardboard letters and initials are perfect for student learning and artistic ownership. Try using your cardboard scraps in this fun way. You’ll be glad you did.
Are you done with your boxes? Games missing pieces?
Don’t cast them off! Reuse them!
We love boxes for so many reuse possibilities that card great for no pun intended, out-of-the-box thinking.
In their original state boxes like these make great structural works or cut into pieces they can become just about anything else! The sky is the limit when it comes to creative possibilities.
This tear sheet from a vintage -ish @familyfunmag has triple appeal for us. 1.We love the suggested idea of creative family games- cut slits in cards to make your own house of cards game.
2. This idea naturally converts to a “creating at home” idea for us! Grab an old deck of cards from around the house that is OK to alter and snip double slits around all four sides of each card about 1/2 inch deel then, interlock cards as you wish.
3. Surely there are decks of cards floating around school campuses and that’s where our non-profit, CReATE ON YOUR CAMPUS comes in, to bring recycling habits for reuse it in new ways like taking old playing cards like this and making up something new for collaborative building in classrooms. A super fun learning tool that doesn’t cost a thing.
