This project is fun to make and will get hours and hours of use no matter the weather. Kids can let their imaginations run wild and include whatever they like in their own special town.

All you need is a BIG cardboard box, or a couple of smaller boxes secured together.
As an added bonus, it keeps really little ones contained whilst they happily play. Everyone’s a winner!
Love this idea? You might love these too …
AND, I am loving these shelves. Think I could do a whole wall of them.

If you like things a little fancier, you’ll love these boxed vintage cars – not so great for playing but a beautiful way to display a special few.
Right then. I’m off to clear a path through the car park that is my lounge room floor, and maybe whip up one of these creations.
PS: If your little one is car crazy, then you’ll probably like some of this stuff from our little store …
As you can imagine we have quite the collection of toy cars around here. Not to sound irresponsible (OK, well maybe a bit), our littlest one has been playing with matchbox cars with his big brothers since he was one, or maybe even younger. Our first born would not have been allowed anywhere near a “not suitable for children under three” toy until he actually hit the magic age of three. Anyhoo, I digress.
Anyone who has stepped on a matchbox car or piece of Lego in the middle of the night knows that can be a terribly painful experience. Storage is key. Hence, we just had to share one of our all time favourite storage ideas for cars – the IKEA magnetic knife holder on the wall. Handy, easy and looks terribly fabulous.
Do you have any handy little storage ideas for your kid’s toys?
