Last year's recalls involving millions of China-made plastic toys -- many by big name toy manufacturers parents had come to trust -- took families by surprise. Last Christmas, the Internet was filled with articles about how to find American-made toys, and many parents vowed to give only "natural" wood and cloth toys instead.
But let's face it -- when a small child opens a toy, often the thing he or she is most interested in is the box.
Boxes have plenty of play value. They can be forts or hideouts or spaceships. But when you're done using them, they can also become stable furniture that your children can enjoy. Enter
Foldschool, an online collection of designs which can transform regular old boxes into functional furniture. You can print Foldschool's designs for free, and you supply the cardboard. Create stools, chairs, and even a rocking-horse type toy. Sounds like fun!
