"mere props for creative play"

670px-Make-a-Cardboard-Box-Spaceship-Step-1.jpg


said every kid ever.
 
I used to just pretend that my house, school and other buildings were space stations and my parents car was a rocket ship taking me from station to station. Didn’t need no fancy wankbox. Imagination, like.
 
Our neighbour had some kind of delivery business when we were small kids - big container trucks, lots of cardboard boxes.
One sunny day, there was nothing in the back of the truck but a huge empty cardboard box - like big enough for us to stand in - so the four of us got in and closed the lid.
We didn't notice a tiny hole on the side of the box facing the back door of the truck where the sunlight came in, and as soon as we closed the lid we had a camera obscura on the opposite wall - showing a movie of our street. We were all speechless and sat for ages just watching upside down cars and people go by and saying "wow".
It felt like nothing less than actual real magic happening right where we lived. Definitely one of my happiest memories as a kid.

Cardboard boxes rule.
Let your kids play on trucks.
