RECYCLED RAINBOW CARDBOARD PUZZLE DIY
Who needs fancy wooden toys when you have cardboard all around? Ok, I still need the pretty toys, but how cute and effective is this puzzle? Really easy to put together and it’s long lasting!
I love making DIYs out of reused materials such as cardboard to make at home activities for kids fun and environmentally friendly. I’ve made a 3D DIY puzzle board, a drawer organizer, an analog clock, a DIY computer, and so much more. Today, I’m making a fun DIY rainbow cardboard puzzle.
