Toddler activities with a cardboard box

A cardboard box is a tunnel, a car, a post box, a drum and a hiding place, sometimes all in the same afternoon. The activities here all start with a box of some size, from a shoebox to the one the delivery came in. They cover posting and fitting games for the hands, crawling and climbing for the body, and simple pretend play for the imagination. Nothing needs cutting that a pair of kitchen scissors cannot manage. Each activity has clear steps, what your child is learning, and a way to make it easier or harder.
