Cardboard boxes are one of those things that are almost always in high supply at our house, so we’ve gotten really good at saving and repurposing them for as many crafts and activities as possible. You really can’t beat an upcycled craft! Today we’re sharing a few of our all-time favorite craft projects that all feature cardboard in some shape or form. Corrugated, cereal box, you name it, we will craft with it!
