Birthday Card Boxes

When our twins celebrated one year since their Birth, they were most interested in all of the colourful cards they received.  Wanting to preserve these keepsakes, I securely taped them all to the inside of a large cardboard box, in which the little ones used to sit and chatter away to the drawings and characters.  Surprisingly, the box wasn't completely demolished...  Second Birthday cards were added to the outside the following year, and it still seems like a good thing to do with old birthday cards.

4th Birthday card box

We decorated a small box with a lid using their 4th Birthday cards.  The boys helped me with the cutting and taping, and it was a lovely activity this afternoon.  Rupert loved it too, and the box will be put to great use storing small toy vehicles.
