Cardboard Firetruck

Building toys from cardboard is SO much FUN!!

With the help of our makedo kit, and a few recyclables we had on-hand, Emily and I built a fun firetruck!! I’m not sure why she wanted to wear safety goggles to put out fires..?? But she sure had lots of fun with this!

It is basically a box with a hole cut out of the bottom, and some elastic attached for arm straps. We used yogurt lids for wheels, and an empty egg carton for the emergency lights. There’s also a jump rope tucked inside, which she used for a fire hose!

Emily discovered that a frisbee makes a great steering wheel!!

Now she’s off to rescue her stuffed animal cats…… that are stuck in trees! Those silly cats!

If you’d like to build cardboard toys of your own, there is still time to enter our giveaway for a Free Play Makedo kit!!

Have fun!!
