Here at Mini Mad Things we love to craft with cardboard. Most of the projects we make are created using old cardboard boxes and household recycling, making them cheap and easy to make at home with your little ones. Here is a selection of 10 of your favourite, tried and tested cardboard crafts for kids.
RAINBOW BIRD
I love the simplicity of this beautiful rainbow bird; you could try making a whole flock and hang them as a mobile. See the full blog post HERE.
YARN WRAPPED COLLAGE RAINBOW
I love the beautiful textural effect of this colourful yarn wrapped collage rainbow. See the full blog post HERE.
