A classroom castle made out of cardboard boxes

Here are some great ideas for building role play areas for just a few pennies. Just ask your local supermarket and stores for their cardboard boxes and all you need to buy is some sticky tape. Thereโ€™s no need to paint or decorate them โ€“ let the kids do that for you!

The Drive-In

These could be used for reading nooks, or as the blog suggests โ€“ a drive in.
