Turn a <a href="https://krakenfiles.com/view/nY6sNUPXe9/file.html" target="_self">cardboard</a> box into a cute truck with basic supplies. Cut the top and one side of a small box to make the truck bed. Use leftover cardboard to cut out wheels, then attach them with glue or tape. For the cab, cut a smaller box and glue it to the front of the bed. Add details like headlights (using bottle caps) or a windshield (clear plastic from a wrapper). Paint the truck in your favorite color—red, blue, or yellow works great. This toy is sturdy and lets kids use their imagination to “haul” small toys. It’s a perfect way to reuse cardboard and make something fun.

Making a <a href="https://krakenfiles.com/view/0gtEgvV8bk/file.html" target="_self">paper airplane</a> is a classic craft for all ages. Grab a sheet of A4 paper, fold it in half lengthwise, then unfold to leave a crease. Fold the top corners down to meet the crease, forming a triangle. Fold the new top corners inward again, then fold the paper along the initial crease. Finally, fold the wings down from the center. Adjust the wings for balance, and your airplane is ready to fly. This simple toy encourages creativity—decorate it with markers for a personal touch. It’s cheap, easy, and provides hours of outdoor fun.
