These are milk and juice cartons. We have that 'long life' milk and it all comes in the same size containers soo... we saved up a few and Alyssa my dear friend saved up a few for me and tada we could begin.
I cut out the spout and then rinsed each one, let them dry and then stuffed them not too tight with newspaper and then contact papered them. I think if I could have found a brick kind of contact paper that would have been fun but I found what I found and am happy that contact paper is so inexpensive.
This pic makes me happy. It is such a reward for me to see my kids use what I created. |
We made these about a year ago and they are still in good condition and in Isaac's room, which he plays with from time to time.
This picture was taken this week. I caught the kids in action with the building blocks. |
