Think Castle del Floof has had it.... best quality toy I have ever bought. Granted it still had life in it, I might need to customise it a little but I’m pleased with how long it lasted 😊 #boredombreakers #housebunnies #bunstruction #cardboardcastle #demolition

A Kid’s Dream Cardboard Castle Made Out of Boxes

This is my second cardboard castle to build for my kids. The first castle I built was a hit, but after having another child it was time to expand. This castle contains a Main Room, Middle Room and a Tower Room inviting more guests to fit inside. I got an email from IKEA about getting more pictures for the popular Building a Cardboard Castle #1 and sadly that castle didn’t survive our latest move to Austin. So I offered to build a new castle which is to be featured in an “Up Cycling” book for IKEA France.

I built a lot of “forts” when I was a kid from boxes, baskets, couch pillows, blankets or anything I could get my hands on. Most children love building “forts” and playing inside them. Whether they are hiding, playing pretend, or just cozying up and reading books, a fort is a perfect little space for a small children to feel secure in a big world.

Building this castle of course is a great bonding experience. The kids love participating in the construction. Just be extra careful with the hot glue and razors, which I had to supervise at all times.

Materials

Lots of cardboard boxes (I used recycled moving boxes and some donated boxes)

1 each 24″ x 20″ x 46″ Large Wardrobe Box (Left Tower)

1 each 18″ x 18″ x 28″ Dish Barrel Box (Middle Room)

1 each 27″ x 26″ x 36.5″ Chair Box (Main Right)

1 each 48″ x 96″ Double Wall Corrugated Sheet (Trim and Toppers)

4-6 Large moving boxes for trim and coin corners

Tools

Razor Blade Knife

Measuring Tape

Straight Edge

Hot Glue Gun

Sandpaper (Optional)

Steps

Glue the three main boxes together

Cut out doors and windows

Cut and fold a ton of coin corner rectangles out

Decorative trim the Windows

Decorative trim the Doors

Add the 2 Toppers for Tower Left and Main Hall Right

Add the Slanted Roof for the Middle Room
