For artsy kids | TOP fun lists

It's cold season again.

I don't know about you but in my house, everyone is currently sneezing and blowing their nose. That's a lot of Kleenex boxes to recycle!

Here are my TOP-10 fun things to do with tissues and boxes. (Excerpts from my Clever DIY fun for kids board on Pinterest on pinterest.com/NathaliePrezeau)

1. Decorate the box, tie an empty one to the new one with elastics to collect the used tissues (so germs are not spread all over the place).

2. Plug a fan in and let the kids make the unused tissues fly! The good thing is that you can use the tissues afterwards.

3. A cool rocket to build. See instructions on twobearsfarm.com.

4. A Lego box to cover boring boxes of tissue. See instructions on dreamalittlebigger.com.

5. Turn two boxes into dinosaur paws.

6. A box becomes a tunnel.

7. With the help of elastics, a box turns into a guitar.

8. My favourite: building a catapult to throw marshmellows (from spoonful.com)

9. Monsters!

10. How to make a miniature box of tissues, for doll houses (from wbkminiatures.com)
