Large cardboard boxes can be anything
Sometimes the best toys ever are the ones not originally meant to be toys at all. In our day, we’ve seen empty computer or refrigerator boxes turned into playhouses, racing cars and pirate ships with the help of some scissors and crayons. Having your very own rocketship enables you to visit other planets, plant flowers on the moon and engage with extra-terrestrial lifeforms (ie. siblings)
You’ll need:
- Large cardboard box (from a big electronic device, a major appliance, or moving boxes)
- Strong scissors or an X-acto knife (Mom and/or Dad should handle this aspect of the rocket construction)
- Duct tape
- Ruler
- Extra cardboard (maybe from a cereal box)
- Construction paper or crayons to decorate
- Metallic spray paint (optional)
- Cellophane (optional)
- Buttons/pipecleaners/anything that might aid in space travel
