10 DIY Cardboard Toys to Inspire Playtime

Baby E is three months old today, which honestly hardly seems possible. She’s hitting such a fun stage right now, learning to play and growing increasingly verbal. (She can’t stop won’t stop with the ridiculously cute cooing at the moment. So sweet!) At the moment she is currently sitting right next to me, hanging out in her bouncer while batting at her toys and babbling away. I wish I knew what was going on in that little head of hers because she just seems so happy and content with nothing more than a couple of little toys and her own imagination. Which brings me to today’s round up of the coolest things ever made from cardboard. I couldn’t resist pinning these DIY cardboard wings when I saw them and that somehow led me down a bunny trail of homemade cardboard toys. Guys, cardboard! A bit of paint. A few big pieces of tape. A smear of glue. Approximately $0 if you use stuff you have lying around the house. Playtime just officially went analog [and awesome] again.
