Skyscrapers – Creating with Cardboard

Cardboard. Inexpensive, plentiful and for some reason, fascinating for every child…ever. As we turn to the internet for our daily needs, boxes are bound to take over our kitchens and recycling bins. Gather your materials and save your cardboard (and sanity): Here is a creative way to transform this commonplace material into something beautiful. 

Skyscrapers

Design a city to learn about 3D art and architecture. 

• Save your larger boxes and invite your child to design their own building. Use materials you have on hand, such as paper for windows, tape for details, and oil pastels for color. Paint may get a little messy, but is always a great addition to any project.
