Rainy Day Craft Box

From About.com

I have two children ages 4 and 5, and I find that they really appreciate our "rainy-day box". Basically, I save up cereal boxes, egg cartons, sweet wrappers, etc, and then on a bad day, let the girls loose. It doesn't matter about the mess; that can be cleaned up when they go to bed, and they really use their imaginations making things. They have a great time and I don't have to spend money I don't have on expensive "craft" toys. - Submitted by Marina
