Instructions
Place a large cardboard box on a flat surface and cut off the top and bottom of the box to make a rectangular tube shape. Repeat this step with four more boxes.
Use a clear tape to join the open ends of three of the boxes together to form a long cardboard tunnel. Attach two more boxes to the tunnel with tape and then use a pair of scissors to cut the top piece off of the fourth box.
Cut just the bottom off of the sixth box. Use a plate to trace a circle on two sides of this box and cut out the circles.
Place the sixth box on top of the fourth box with the open end facing downward. Tape the box in place. This box acts as a peak hole during playtime.
Measure the circumference of one of the boxes and use this measurement to cut a piece of fabric long enough to encircle the box. It is alright if the fabric is too wide and covers some of the next box. Use a clear or white craft glue to attach the fabric to the first box. Repeat this step with a different colored or patterned fabric for each of the boxes and allow the glue to dry for 30 to 60 minutes.
Cut out the fabric that is covering the peak holes in the upper box. You can also make additional cutouts through the fabric and cardboard at various spots throughout the box to bring more light into the tunnel if you would like.
Measure the opening of one end of the tunnel and cut out a piece of fabric that measures approximately 1-inch longer on one side. Glue the extra 1 inch over top of the opening at the end of the tunnel. Repeat this step to make a fabric door for the other end of the tunnel.
Decorate the inside of the box with colorful crayons, pencil crayons or markers.
