Collapsible Cardboard Playhouse DIY
August 3, 2012
As with a LOT of toys, the novelty of our first cardboard house eventually wore off on the kids. I didn’t want to send it to the recycling bin, but there was no ideal place in our compact house to store it. Inspired by some soda packaging, I found that making three extra cuts allowed the house to fold down flat for storage. For complete instructions along with a printable PDF, click over to my guest post at SheKnows. Details for Mara’s hand-painted blocks are from an older post here.
