VIDEO: Tinker with shoeboxes

When you have a few empty shoeboxes again, let your children tinker with them. You can use the kids to make animals out of schukarton boxes, which in the end is sure to bring a lot of great results.

Make animals out of shoeboxes

1. First you can make a cow out of a cardboard box with your kids. Paint a shoe box with white paint or use a white box straight away. When the cardboard has dried, any number of stains of different sizes can be drawn with a black pen or with black paint.
2. Now draw a cow's head on white paper, preferably with a black pencil, and cut it out.
3. Glue a few googly eyes on and some black wool between the painted ears.
4. You attach this finished head to a corner of the cardboard box and you have a cute cow.

6. For the neck, take an empty cardboard tube, for example from the aluminum foil, and paint it too.

7. Make a hole in the lid into which you stick the neck.
8. Then paint the head on brown paper and stick goofy eyes over it and paint the rest of the face.
9. For the tail, take brown wool and braid it into a braid. You then attach this to your shoebox and a giraffe is ready.
10. You can also make many other animals this way.
