#25 Creative Junk
Your child’s imagination can be fired by using large and smaller boxes to create a car, a fire engine, a house or a ship! A box large enough for your child to climb into might need nothing more than imagination to be anything in the world!
How to do it
Use boxes that have been used for large household items like fridges, washing machines and don’t forget to ask friends and neighbours to be on the look out for a great box! Encourage your child to look at the detail of lorries and rockets and draw or paint them or use smaller boxes and containers to stick on to the bigger box.
Don’t worry if you haven’t got a large box, you can still use lots of smaller pieces of ‘junk’ and create exciting, fun and imaginative things. The best bit of this activity is letting your child lead and make whatever they like. You might be surprised about what they come up with!
