Appliance Box Mansion

August 20, 2008 | Filed in: 3-D, Activities, Outside, Sculpture

Like I do every summer for the past 10 years or so, may have skipped a year or two in there, I called our local appliance store and asked if they had many boxes in the recycling . I folded all the seats down and loaded up my van with all the boxes they had-10.

After unloading them and trying to match up the bottom pieces to the various size boxes we dragged them into place. We stood them up and I poked holes through the boxes and pipecleanered them together. Cutting doors and windows in some of the boxes.

Did I hear you say you wanted a tour…Sure!

That’s the hall way. First left is Molly’s room.

Second left is Ginger’s room.

And of course there is a potty!!!

There are windows, doors and sky lights.

Tomorrow we will paint it!

Very cool! May have to steal that idea one day soon

Oh! My! Wow! That is beyond awesome. How long does this last? Is it all mushy after one rain? Might have to try something like this, what a great idea!

Cool! Have you heard of Mr McGroovy’s box rivets? They make this kind of project really easy and can be used again and again. They have a refrigerator box castle plan on the site too…

It’s amazing that something as simple as discarded cardboard boxes can provide so much fun huh

This is a FANTASTIC idea!! I am going to call the store next week… this would be a perfect activity for the last week of summer… my kids will LOVE it! Thanks for the inspiration.

I am thinking I will have to do this when my darling granddaughter is a little older. You are such a cool mom.

Oh, I am SO going to have to call my local appliance store. I NEVER thought of doing that!

Love this idea! This post would be a perfect one to link up to “Twice the Fun Tuesday” at my site havingfunathomeblog.blogspot.com.

Twice the Fun is a weekly mr. linky about creative recycling that will start next Tuesday (Oct 14.) It would be great to see your post there!
