The Learning Resources Boxineers Cardboard Animals kit is designed for children who love hands-on crafting and upcycling ordinary shipping boxes into imaginative creatures. It serves as an excellent tool for developing STEM skills, such as engineering and fine motor coordination, by turning recyclable materials into diverse animal figures. While the kit provides endless creative potential, it does require a supply of spare cardboard boxes, which are not included in the package.

No, the kit provides the tools, bolts, and accessories, but you must provide your own clean, recycled cardboard boxes.
The kit is intended for children who can manage basic manual tasks; adult supervision is recommended to ensure tools are used correctly.
The stickers are generally designed for one-time use, but the plastic bolts, brackets, and tools can be used indefinitely.
Standard corrugated shipping cardboard works best. Avoid materials that are too thin (like cereal boxes) or too thick (like furniture shipping crates).
You can create as many animals as your supply of cardboard and hardware allows, though most kids start with one or two complex builds.
Ensure the hole punched in the cardboard is not too large; use a smaller section of cardboard or reinforce the area with a piece of tape.
Ensure you are using standard, single-wall corrugated cardboard; avoid using plastic-coated or extremely thick shipping materials.
The kit is compatible with standard crafting fasteners if additional pieces are needed, though we recommend storing the original hardware in a dedicated pouch.
Setup is straightforward: simply gather a few clean cardboard boxes of various sizes. Use the included hole punch to create clean openings in the cardboard, then secure the brackets and bolts using the provided screwdriver. For care, ensure the plastic bolts and brackets are kept in a container when not in use to avoid loss. If the cardboard becomes damaged or worn out, simply recycle it and find a fresh piece of cardboard to continue the building process. The tools and plastic accessories can be wiped down with a damp cloth if they become dusty or dirty.
