10 Upcycled Toys from Cardboard

  I'm so glad to have kicked off Project: Recycle & Create this year, celebrating recycling and children's creativity and imagination! Some wonderful bloggers have joined me too. Our first month, January, we focused on cardboard boxes and invited you to share your ideas as well. There were some great ones linked up, making this list all the harder to narrow down. So I focused on toys you can make with this versatile material that your kids will love!
