You wouldn\u2019t want to forget, put them together and then have to take them apart because you mixed them up, right? You could always remember your three boxes as the base of the tower, the tower and the drawbridge.<\/p>\n<h4>Here are the steps that you will need to follow in order to make your cardboard castle<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Cut one side each from your \u2018base of the tower\u2019 box and your \u2018tower\u2019 box in order to make one giant bottom floor of the castle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Now cut one side from the \u2018drawbridge\u2019 box. The idea is that your kid should be able to crawl through the drawbridge and into the bottom of the tower and then stand up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> The \u2018drawbridge\u2019 box will have two of its sides cut out from it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Now cut the parapet into the \u2018tower\u2019 box and the \u2018drawbridge\u2019 box lids. Make sure that you don\u2019t cut any sides off the \u2018tower\u2019 box.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Cut a window into the tower.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Next, duct tape the parapet inside the corners of the boxes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 6:<\/strong> Now comes the fun part: spray painting! Spray paint your boxes. Your kids can decorate the outside as well as the inside of the boxes by adding details like stones, cracks and vines with markers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 7:<\/strong> Now assemble the towers. Remember that the window has to face the same side as the drawbridge.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional\"><\/span>Optional<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00b7 You could always add more boxes to make another tower on the opposite end.<br \/>\n\u00b7 If you want to make a drawbridge that moves, punch two holes into the top of the drawbridge and two holes into the box. Then weave some yarn through the holes, knot the ends, pull and there you have it \u2013 a real moving drawbridge!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"an_opportunity_for_learning\"><\/span>An opportunity for learning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Building a castle helps to provide a lot of opportunities for learning.
