Between the heatwaves and the crazy downpours, I feel like weโ€™ve been getting more use out of our creative indoor toys this summer than our scooters. And now hereโ€™s one more that Iโ€™m just smitten with, because itโ€™s more than just a building kit.

The recycled cardboard Paper Town
craft kit is just wonderful. It comes with four perforated sheets that
allow your kids to punch out, fold, and insert tabs to create their own
little town complete with a cafe, bus station, department store and
market. I love that thereโ€™s no glue or scissors needed, so even while my
5 year-old needed a little help, I didnโ€™t mind letting her have at it
on her own for a bit. My 7 year-old was just fine.  Meaning itโ€™s a
perfect gift when youโ€™re visiting a house full of kids of any age.
Even
a toddler would love their little city once itโ€™s built. The structures
are light, easy to move around, and best of all, easy to create endless
stories out of. Just stick some Lego Minifigs or dollhouse dolls in
there and see just where that yellow bus goes.

Or hey, get
out the water colors. You own the town, after all. Thereโ€™s no
neighborhood association to keep you from making everything magenta.  โ€“Liz

  1. As a huge lover of cardboard and paper toys, I say YES to this:) But, please, please donโ€™t use watercolors on it, it wonโ€™t do it good.. Use acrylic paint:)
