Cardboard City Game for Kids

Turn empty packaging into a miniature neighborhood with streets, shops and homes. Children decide who lives in their city, draw the details and invent everyday adventures for its residents. Leave the layout open-ended so the city can grow whenever a new box becomes available.

◷ 30 minutes♧ 3–12 years

Let’s make it happen

  1. Arrange boxes into streets and buildings.
  2. Draw doors and windows on paper and tape them on.
  3. Add a park and invent a story about your city.

Grown-up note: Supervise play, check materials for age suitability and keep small parts away from younger children. Adapt the activity to your child’s abilities.
