This is a cardboard Christmas tree from Kid-Eco http://www.cardboardtoys.com and its been brilliant fun. It doesn’t stand up because we saturated it with paint but my two eldest kids who are six and three (and me!) had a great time ruining it. I also bought a cardboard igloo for the kids to decorate and hide in on Christmas day. We will NOT paint this thing, but we will paint some paper snowflakes and stick them on when they’re dry.
These things aren’t as cheap as they should be but they’re great for a special occasion and can be used again. A friend of mine bought a cardboard castle for her daughters 3rd birthday party and all the kids loved decorating it and then playing in it.
The only problem is the mess afterwards…
