Free Childrens Cardboard Box Playhouse (Flat-packable)

Children love a cardboard box playhouse.  Usually they are built, played with for an afternoon and then thrown away, or hopefully recycled.  This Instructable will show you how to make a playhouse that can be built using only two bicycle boxes, in about five minutes, that can be flat-packed for storage, so you can reuse it again and again.

Step 1 Materials

All you need is two bicycle boxes.  That is it!

She is adorable. She has a big wooden play house, but sometimes she asks for the little house and she just loves the door and windows.

Cardboard boxes really are the best toys. :)

[CHARLESCRANFORD]

They are even more fun when you have a child to make them for.

Ditto! I still love cardboard houses! I want one in my size!

[CHARLESCRANFORD]

I made a geodesic one big enough for adults, but I didn't take pics. If I make another, I will definitely make an Instructable.
