3 weeks ago, had DIY "roads & parking spaces" using a big cardboard box for their little vehicles. It was quite an ad-hoc idea, just pasting the roads with masking tapes. It would look better if black duct tapes were used.
Today, as I was observing their play, I have this idea of creating DIY mini doll house to facilitate their imaginative play & story telling capabilities.
We have quite a number of empty cereal/muesli boxes (we keep all the empty boxes because we could always turn these boxes into some new toys). I'd selected these boxes with the cut-out leaves design because it could served as the windows that saves my cutting time.
Tools used: Scissors, blade & glue
Direction:
1) Cut out the back portion of the box,
2) One of the side flaps might fall apart, just glue it back,
3) Using blade, slice the door or windows (3 sides, so that it could open & close)
4) Done! Time to play
Within minutes, manage to create 3 pieces (waiting for the glue to dry takes longer time than cutting). One for each of them for the time being, could create more when they are bored later (which is usually after 2 weeks).
These boxes are very versatile. We could stack it vertically looking like a tall building.

| the an additional hole at the side of the box, we could add on stairs to move the people from one level to another. |
Arranging it horizontally
Or even stacking it vertically and horizontally.

However, most of the time, they might not play as how it was suppose to be.. the "house" is now a "row row boat" :)
