Cardboard boxes are great for creative exploration and imaginative play. Reuse leftover holiday boxes to create a control panel for a rocketship, then embark on an exciting space adventure together!
What We’re Learning & Skills We’re Building
- Dramatic play – pretending a decorated box is a control panel to act out real-world situations
- Creative reuse – reusing cardboard boxes and old electronics to create something new
- Symbolism – using numbers, letters, and simple words as symbols on “functional” decorations
- Tool use – using markers, scissors, and paper to build and decorate the control panel
