With the average U.S. household discarding up to 13,000 pieces of cardboard each year, Boxineers turns everyday boxes into imaginative creations, no cutting required. Complete with tools and accessories, the sets encourage upcycling, engineering, and open-ended play as kids turn cardboard boxes into planes, unicorns, rockets, dragons, and more.
Evaluation comments:
“It’s a fantastic way to recycle and get the creative juices flowing.”
“Both my 7- and 4-year-old girls were into this the second they saw the pictures on the package. They raided our recycling bin for boxes and got to work designing a unicorn kitty dragon. They easily used the hole punch to poke through the cardboard and used the bolts to attach wings, ears, etc. My 4-year-old was mostly on sticker duty but she could use the tools too. She just needed more help from her sister.”
“It actually needed zero parental oversight and took them a good 30 minutes to make their creation. After that, they played with it for a while and exercised their pretend play muscles.”
“Such a great indoor activity that fostered team-work, kept my kids occupied, and gave them a creative outlet.”
“I love these kits for downtime or rainy days.”
“My oldest liked being in charge of “designing” the animal and deciding what it would be before they started building. My 4-year-old loved playing with the animal afterward and being the “sticker girl.” I liked that this didn’t require me to dig out scissors or a razor blade, the hole punch does all the work so I wasn’t worried about anyone getting hurt. I was very hands off and let their imaginations take over.”
“My girls loved the vehicle kit just as much as the cute animal kit.”
“This is a good rainy day activity since you probably already have the raw materials at home. Just know you’ll want boxes ready to go before you hand this to a kid who’s excited to start building!”
