Make Your Own Art Box : Coloring Fun

Save those shipping boxes for creative fun! Many people do their shopping online these days and with that comes boxes stacked up by the door. Instead of recycling the traditional way, try re-arting them! Ok, maybe that’s not a real term but I like it. Big boxes can become trains, airplanes or robots. Maybe your child loves to cook. Draw on some burners and knobs and pull out the pots and pans. Point being – give ’em a box and let ’em get crafty.

ArtBox_ColoringFun2My daughter loves art just like her mama so we took one of our really nice shipping boxes and filled it with art supplies! First I helped her draw the letters and we took turns decorating it with beautiful bugs, flowers – and of course rainbows. She set to work coloring and now we have a bright, beautiful box to store our supplies when creativity strikes again.

  1. How cute is this…I love it. My youngest sister and my great niece color every day. This would be perfect for them and we wouldn’t have all her things laying everywhere as well. So glad you shared this!

  2. Such a cute idea and make good use of any boxes we get. We recycle them sometimes by using them for storage but also in the recycle bin.

  3. Such a great way to encourage creativity, maintain tidiness and organization, and recycling and reusing everyday items! Awesome!

  7. My girls would be all about this project. That’s a very nice shipping box though! I don’t know that I’ve received anything quite that “displayable.” I will have to keep a close eye on the mail!
