The fun you can have with some cardboard and duct tape.
Take, for instance this weekend, around 6 p.m., William looks over at me and says what if I made Vincent a tank out of cardboard? Now, there is something you need to know about my husband, whenever he decides to build something it turns out to be this huge production. I said sure but you'll need to get it finish before Vincen't bedtime, which is around 7:30p.m.
The final result:
I love Vincent's expression in the first picture. It's like he's thinking "Look what mommy and daddy are doing -- working so hard, and all for ME!" :)
Cute! So . . . did he have it done by 7:30? And what's up with the hot pink duct tape? ; )
Yeah, I wanna know too -- Did Vincent stay awake in the end or did you just motor around the room in the tank yourself? Just slip the boy a few M&M's and he's good to go for a few more hours...
I love that Trace and both commented today. (See, we miss you!)
Ok, so I just watched video. I know ... I'm a dork.
And I do love how the military is now rocking the pink duct tape as well.
Ready. Aim. Fashion.
William choose the pink duct tape, cause we ran out of the silver duct tape. And yep, William finished it before Vincent's bed time.
We have plans to make him a fort this weekend.
Who on earth just randomly goes "What if I made (anyone) a tank out of cardboard?" That's like if Chris randomly said "What if I took a raw beef roast and used it to trap a zombie in our back yard?"
Oh, wait. He WOULD say that.
I can see a future Living Section contest . . . what can YOU create out of cardboard and duct tape?
That's a great idea, Tracey. A cardboard contest for the Living section. I'm going to go pitch it to Buffy and Sue right now.
My son wants a cardboard tank for his school "transportation parade". Can you tell me how you got the box on the bottom curved like that? Our major issue is the box has to be no larger than a copy paper box as "parking" is limited at school. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. Our project is due next Friday & I'm hoping to start it tomorrow aft.
Thanks again!
I apologize for not replying sooner.
Scoring the cardboard, where you need it to bend is the trick to making angles. Be sure not to cut through the cardboard.

I like everything to do with creativity, and i fink that guy there is being very creative, i often watch series where they create something out of nothing, viewers from uk will agree that richard handson does a very program.
is not just fun building something like this for your son, it's also a excellent chance to spend more time with him.
It is a nice invention. Especially for children, because they always need something new. They really can not take a sit for a second. And what the imaginarity all kids have! A box turns into a tank. Great! Thank you for the idea.
Lovely kid - good job! ;]

Hey!
I love it!, when I was 11 or 12 and 'Back to the Future' came out...I was so excited that I managed to get a Delorean made of cardboard (kind of...)... maybe wasn't so amazing for the grown ups but for me I was Michael Fox on my Delorean made of cardboard boxes...
Thank you for sharing it,
