I could get rid of an entire playroom full of toys and my kids would be happy:
Hi! I am Sara Phillips from Sensibly Sara. I write enjoy sharing super simple recipes, easy-to-make crafts and fun-filled travel on my blog. Most days you'll find me at my full-time job at an elementary school, getting in a Camp Gladiator workout and/or driving through Chick-Fil-A for a tea. In my (very little) spare time, I enjoy photography, playing games and spending time with my family and friends who are like family. My husband and I live in San Antonio, TX with our two kids and four cats.

I agree. Can’t we just buy boxes for Christmas??
Kira says
Boys, they always find a way to entertain themselves, gotta love them.
Katy says
I think all kids love boxes. The bigger the better. My kids took a refrigerator box and painted it like a house and played with it forever!
Sara Phillips says
That’s awesome! My mom bought the boys one of those $10 cardboard “house” boxes (that you could color) 2 years ago. We had no space for it, so it stayed at her house, but they LOVED IT!
Lisa @ Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy says

Yes!! Boxes are super fun. My kids go crazy with the ones from Costco…I almost have to recycle them in the dead of night to get them out of the house!
Sara Phillips says
That’s what we do! I sneak them out of the house!
Kim @ What's That Smell? says
I like this idea. I would save money and wouldn’t feel bad just throwing the “toys” out when they got old cause they are just boxes LOL
Katie says
that’s like my cats – give them a box and they’re the happiest creatures on the planet!

The best part about toys is the box that they come in. I like to think of it as an early way of recycling. π

Boxes bring so much joy. My 6 and 4 year old love making all sorts of things from it!
Dianna @ oyveyaday says
Sooo true! We have a freezer box in our living room with doors and windows cut into it. We could get rid of all of the other toys (except maybe the iPad and Legos), and the kids wouldn’t even blink an eye. But if we recycled that box, they would pitch a huge fit!
Elizabeth (Rock-A-Bye Parents) says
Right?! There are days when I wonder why I even buy toys!
Jennifer H says

I always said for their first year of life, just give them boxes and paper and they would be happy.
