| Enchanted Learning Software's Cardboard Box Castle More Kinder Crafts Turn a plain cardboard box into an enchanted castle. The cutting in this project is heavy-duty and should be done by an adult. The child can help by supervising and by designing where the towers and turrets should go. Supplies needed:
|
 |
 | Find a box and cut off the top flaps. Any type of box will do: a large cardboard box makes a large castle, a shoebox makes a fine, small castle. To cut thick cardboard, try a craft knife. Poultry shears work well for thinner cardboard. |
 | Cut out a wide rectangle along the front front, sides, and the back to form towers (turrets) at the corners. |
 | Cut out rectangular crenelations along the entire top (the battlement) of the castle. |
 | Draw a drawbridge at the front of the castle. Using the point of a scissors, poke 2 small holes in the sides of the drawbridge and on both sides of the wall next to it. Cut out the drawbridge. |
| Attach a string to each side of the drawbridge and the adjoining wall. |
 | Decorate the castle with paint, markers, crayons, or decoupage (paste on pictures that are cut from magazines). |
