Repurposed Box – Garage | Schoolhouse Toys

Here is an easy to make homemade toy that will be more loved that the toys shipped in it.

Toy trucks at the shipping center — Trucks at the new shipping center

toy truck outside of box — Ertl truck at the shipping center

toy truck outside cardboard box — Nylint truck at shipping center

Toy truck inside cardboard box — Trucks inside the box

Boy inside repurposed box — Boy in repurposed box

With a little imagination, an old cardboard box can become nearly anything.

Materials

Cardboard box
Box cutter

a little imagination

It took less that an hour to complete this repurposed box project. We included two swinging garage doors for the tractor-trailers, and a large open door for our Mighty Tonkas. On the back of the box we opened up a giant size hole so our little truck drivers could get right inside with the trucks.

The door opening for a Mighty Tonka Truck should be about 9.5w x 11h. If you happen to have an old Nylint or Ertl semi around, door openings should be 6x x 9h.
