What can you make out of a cardboard box? Use your imagination, and it can be anything! Since my son loves cars so much, I made a race car.The race car will facilitate dramatic play.Yay!
(You can make one too.You can do it by yourself, or have a little help from some friends!)

Supply List:

4.I cut a flag out using constuction paper. I taped the flag to a paper
towel holder. I cut a hole in the box and put the holder through it.
