If you’ve just gotten a new appliance, like a washer or dryer, keep the box and make a castle for your kids. They can pretend they are going on Orlando vacations to visit “The Mouse”.
Cut off the top flaps and cut notches along the top to make the battlements (the notches on the top of the castle). Then make the drawbridge by cutting a door shape in one side either in an arched or squared off shape. Make sure you leave the bottom connected so the drawbridge can open and close. Connect the top of the drawbridge to the sidewalls with ropes on each side.
Cut out narrow window slits in the walls. You can let the kids draw stones and bricks on the walls. The kids can play dress up and be a princess and dragon slayer. They’ll have tons of fun with something you would just end up tossing away.
