DIY Train/Car Play Box

This little play box is so cute and so much fun! I got the idea off of Pinterest and made one for Piggie. The top is for cars and the bottom has tunnels for his little trains. I used black tape and a white out stick for the roads. I used red tape around the sides of the box. I bought stickers and just colored things on all sides of the box. I added numbers and the alphabet because he's obsessed with those right now.

I COULD NOT for the life of me find a dang box that didn't have writing all over it. I finally found this one at an Office Max for $1. It was in their shipping section and apparently they sell their used boxes for a dollar now rather than throwing them out and letting people dumpster dive for them. But this was the perfect box, it's like it was waiting for me. I found the colored tape at Office Max too because can you believe that Target and Wal-Mart were both out of black tape??? яндекс It's like every mom must've saw that Pinterest pin and went out to buy the same things I was looking for. Anyway, Piggie seems to really like it.
