Running out of ideas for the little ones this school holidays? Playing with the box is NOT just for babies…

Here’s a parenting truth: No matter how cool the present

, kids often just want to play with the packaging.

Whether you recently bought a new dishwasher or just haven’t disposed of the evidence from your latest IKEA shopping spree…

Save. Those. Boxes.

With a little DIY effort, you can transform them into amazing toys – think princess castles, toy-car washes, race cars – that your kids will still be playing with long after that present has been relegated to the bottom of the toy bin.
