Don't toss your old cardboard boxes. Upcycle them into fun.Cardboard box lemonade stand for the kids

You have ever heard that if y'all requite your kids a new toy, that they all they are going to want is the box. It is true. Children honey to play with boxes & the bigger the meliorate. I am a big online shopper & just purchased a new floor lamp for our living room. It was packed in a box within a box within another box. The outer box was a huge ane. My daughter was excited to leap into each & every one of them & I was excited because I knew right away what I was going to practise with the big one.

My daughter has been request me all winter long if she could have a lemonade stand. We set up up a table in her playroom a few times & hung a sign, just I promised her that once the nice weather striking, we would build her a special correspond outside. The nice weather condition definitely has not hitting yet, but I could not laissez passer up the opportunity to build her a stand.

The box was a long ane with the flaps on the both sides on the long ends. I opened both ends.

I cut a slit in the cardboard about 1/iii of the manner downward on both sides. On the side that would exist my front, I kept the top & bottom side flaps. On the behind, I cutting off the top side flaps. Also on the dorsum, I cut the top & bottom flaps. I cut them carefully, as one of those flaps was going to be my counter & I wanted information technology in good shape.

For the front department, I had to tape the bottom side flaps together & then tape them to the bottom of the box. I removed the front end bottom flap as well, merely left the top for the awning.

Here is a view of what the box looked similar from backside.

I cut the acme side flap in one-half like shown beneath & then cut more off of the summit portion so that I could lower the top flap down & to form a slant for the awning. I glued the awning in place.

I used 1 of the removed meridian/bottom flaps to form my counter & and so glued it in place at the height of the taped front portion. I cut narrow pieces of cardboard width wise from another previously removed flap to course braces for the counter.

I bent the narrow pieces on both ends.
