Craft hours of imaginative play with dolls, action figures, and Matchbox cars…

Boxes. We all have them. From decorative fancy boxes with magnetic closures to the corrugated pile in the garage pining to be included in some creative fun. Craft designer Christen Byrd certainly had a stash and—always inspired by her three imagination-rich kiddos—she found her collection of boxes calling her name.

The first space she created for her children––Lucy, Olive, and Max––was the chic little Family Room/Kitchen Combo which was quickly followed by a playful Super Hero Hideout. And, yes, all three play with both because there’s no toy discrimination happenin’ in the Byrd house and boxes create that “come-one, come-all” kind of fun. To keep up with each kiddo’s rich imagination and growing collection of figurines, more creative spaces and scenery took shape–– including a Bedroom, Farm, Fairy Garden, Mechanic’s Garage, Ice Cream Shop, Car Wash, and BallerinaStudio­––and Small Box Craft was born.

To keep things stress-free, Small Box Craft has simple, clear instructions, helpful diagrams and photos, and requires only your trusty glue gun and some easy-to-find materials from your local craft store.  (...and your recycling bin). A happy little book packed with big-time fun, Small Box Craft is a blueprint for hours of creative play for that kiddo in your life.
