For two weeks now, Jonah has been having fun with an empty cardboard box. UPS delivered it filled with blankets that came with matching stuffed animals. I bought the sets on clearance for Easter and Christmas presents. When I saw how big the box was, I knew it would be great for my soon-to-be-two grandson, Jonah.
When I was a kid, my sister, brother and I turned big appliance boxes into playhouses. I remember decorating and playing with them for weeks.
Based on Jonah's recent experience, it appears cardboard boxes still ignite a lot of creativity. Jonah loves hiding in his big box and has turned a smaller one into a boat. In our high-tech fast-paced world, it's nice to see pleasure coming from such a simple thing as a cardboard box.
