What Would You Do With It? Wednesday: Pizza Boxes

Welcome to this week's edition of What Would You Do With It? Wednesday! This week we are featuring pizza boxes! We honestly don't order pizza all that often, but we do end up with a collection of boxes when we do. So, the challenge for this week is to use those pizza boxes up!

In all honesty, we have never made a project that uses the pizza box in its entirety. We cut them up to use the cardboard when we made our wonderful funny feet for making tracks in the snow that were inspired by Abbie over at Greening Sam and Avery:

So, rather than share a bunch of cut out projects, I surfed the web for more inspiration. This is what I found!

Look at this great solar oven from Family Fun, I cannot wait for enough sun to try this out!

This puppet simply rocks! I found it over at Highlights Kids.

This pizza box playset looks like a lot of fun! I found it over at Crafting a Green World.

This organization idea sparked my interest too.... over at Giver's Log.

I know that Teacher Tom used pizza boxes to make paving stones. You can read all about it here.

Last week's challenge was to use plastic liquid laundry detergent bottles. I'm still looking for some great ideas! Please feel free to stop back and link up at any time if you find some!

On to this week's link up! Pizza Boxes- It's your turn!

Do you have a great idea or post that you can share using Pizza Boxes? If so, please join in linking up!

Here are the rules:

1) The post MUST use Cardboard Pizza Boxes (or a similar sized container)

There are no other requirements. If you would like, I would love if you linked back to his linky party, but it is not required. I would hope that you will investigate the links shared and visit some of the other blogs, but I'm not imposing any "blog hop/linky" rules. Please, if you do find great ideas and photos...

My friend died

I learned a hell of a lot from Dan Hodgins. He was mentor, a friend, and a "bone shaker" for many of us in the field of Early Childhood Education. He was and will always be a champion for children, and protector of childhood. I have so many great memories of time spent with him, it just doesn't seem like we had enough time. Dan died this past Saturday. Interestingly enough, Dan and I talked about death quite a bit. It is one of those topics that isn't talked about all that much in our field, but is super important. All living things eat, all living things poop, and all living things die. Dan and I recorded a podcast for awhile called "Shaking Bones." Dan was always shaking bones, even before I met him. To say I was honored to be asked to be his co-host would be putting it lightly. I loved recording with him. He was never afraid to touch on topics that were a bit edgy, or issues that sometimes weren't talked about much at all. We even t

A Few Ideas With Marker Caps (As Promised)

Yesterday, I hope I convinced you not to throw away your markers that "don't work." Today, I will share with you a few ideas for what to do with all of the caps. The possibilities are nearly endless, but here are a few of our recent creations: 1) A Leprechaun/Fairy Ladder/Rope Ladder: 2) #1 if not permanently secured can also double as a rope bridge: 3) #1/#2 can also be made into a train track for your homemade trains :).

You can use them as small manipulatives to count, sort, and make patterns with. (No photo available). 7) You could use them as playing pieces in your own homemade board game. (No photo available). 8) You could put them on a wire and glue them in place to make a twirling whirly-gig. 9) You could top them with a lid from a milk jug to make tiny tables or toadstools. 10) You could make them
