WHAT IS ‘ADVENTURES IN CARDBOARD’?

‘Adventures in Cardboard’ is an activity book filled with genius ideas for using cardboard boxes to make cool creations that inspire creative play! It’s all about using something you already have to inspire new, fun, individual or collaborative ideas that involve initiative and creativity!

In a world of finite resources and growing consumption, Mini Mad Things want to encourage the creative use of simple, recycled materials, like the humble cardboard box, to create play. Encouraging our little ones to re-purpose what they already have is not only great for our planet, it also requires creative thinking to see new possibilities beyond the original purpose, helping our children become the resourceful inventors of the future.
