Week 11 -- Theme

Cardboard Boxes

Big, little, short and tall

Plain white or brown, colored or printed

Full or empty, still a cardboard box.

The girls have a huge cardboard box, they are opening it up to be flat. 

Bending it in the middle to form an upside down V.

"Look mom we have a tent" they say all proud of themselves.

The snow covered hill looks very inviting for sledding.

Oh, but wait the boys do not have a sled.

"Go get one of the old cardboard boxes" says their mother 

"It will make a great sled."

The damn cat is going to have kittens.

Let's get a cardboard box and we will make her a bed,

Some place for her to feel safe and comfortable.

Then the kittens will have a home until they are big enough to get around.

Not only just a cardboard box

they stand me up on one end, write on me with markers,

hold me down with some big rock,

Guess that I am now a sign.

We need wood for the fire,

We grab the cardboard box 

So we now have a firewood box, to carry and store the wood.

Oops fire won't start, empty out the wood 

Break up and tear the box to start the fire with.

I like to use cardboard boxes of the same shape and size.

As they make great storage containers

Stack nicely in a neat pile

I can stack them tall, I can spread them out

Even use them as a stand. 

What would we do without cardboard boxes??????????????
