How Do You Build A Cardboard Skyscraper?
If your kids can’t get outside because of the weather, here’s a nifty activity to keep them busy. Help them build a cardboard skyscraper. All it takes to make one is some cardboard boxes and some imagination. Your kids may have so much fun making one skyscraper that they may want to build an entire city. Gather some cardboard boxes. Boxes of different sizes that can stack on top of each other are best for this project. The heavier boxes work best for the base but lighter boxes work for the top of the skyscraper. Decide which box you want to use for the base of the skyscraper. Set it on the floor or table with the bottom side up. Alternatively, if the top is still intact, you can tape the top closed. Set the next largest box on top of the bottom box. Center it over the bottom box. Use duct tape to hold it in place. Continue piling boxes to build the skyscraper is as tall as you want it. Make sure to use enough duct tape all around so the skyscraper doesn’t shift. Use the felt-tip marker
