I acquired a lot of shoe boxes from a dumpster behind a shoe store & I've finished my storage project with them, for now, I like how they look and I'll probably make more as needed. I had leftover shoe boxes and instead of holding my clutter they became clutter. SO, instead of throwing them away I decided recycle them and turn them into entertainment for kids!
Me and the kids took our shoe boxes outside and spray painted them our choice colors. Then, once they dried we brought them in and the kids decorated them. We used paint and stickers but the possibilities are endless. You could use glue, ribbon, googley eyes, glitter, pom poms, wrapping paper, etc..etc..etc.. I like to let my kids color pictures in coloring books and then cut the picture out and glue it onto their projects as a decoration.
Here's a picture of the boxes outside drying.
