Making Toy Boxes at Home Was Never So Easy
From Buzz Light Year to Barbie, every toy deserves a home and that home most of the times is, unfortunately, an ugly and shabby corrugated box with its corners worn off, grease and dirt and what not on it.
And yes, I forgot to mention that most of the times the bottom layers of such boxes are already bending on the outside because of the frequent load that people put in these kinds of boxes.
However:
Let us not talk about this since this is not the only reason why toys need the better home. If your kids love their toys and if you love your kids, it is kind of a duty to find out some better toy boxes for your kids.
In order to do so, either you will have to buy expensive toy boxes made by the companies that live off of people’s love for their kids and their toys, or you will have to wake up your creative self, pull your socks up, turn your sleeves and go to the shed until you come out with a sense of accomplishment and an awesome box for your kids playmates.
In this blog post, I am going to show you the techniques that best of the toy subscription boxes companies use and how they come up with so exciting and awesome toy boxes.
Let us have a look:
1. Why Are Toy Subscription Boxes so Good?
The toy subscription boxes are meant to lure kids into becoming the permanent customers of such websites and subscription companies. Kids are the most vulnerable customers and once they are convinced that something is good and they want it, and it is always easy to convince them, they know how to deal with parents and force them to get their kids what they want.
Toy subscription boxes had to be amazingly good to lure those kids and parents into becoming the permanent subscribers because no kid or parents would love to subscribe for the boxes which are not attractive, fancy and durable.
So what do they do to the toy boxes? They make them funny, they add the photos of the famous Disney characters to the box and they definitely make sure that either the box is a rigid box with capacity to bear the wear and tear, or it is made of corrugated fiberboard sheets which make it easy for the box to not only protect the products but also to bear with the careless and rough handling of the kids.
2. How to Make Your Kid Toy Boxes?
Everyone wants to make their kids happy and let me tell you that the best type of kids are those who take care of their little toys, make their bed and maintain the tidiness. And this sort of kids cannot be pleased unless you make them awesome toy boxes to keep their toys neat, clean, organized and safe.
In this part we are going to see how to make toy boxes for your kids; toy boxes which will not only look just as good as high-quality toy boxes for sale but which will be personalized for your kids.
A. Material
Here is the list of all of the materials that you are going to use for this project:
- Printed wrapping sheet with the images of Disney characters
- If you cannot find such a wrapping sheet, just get any wrapping sheet with vibrant colors and fancy characters
- Use the cutouts or printouts of Disney characters and paste them on the sheet
- Get a simple, but sound and new corrugated fiberboard box from either your home or from some company that has enough of them sitting in archive room
- Get scissors, scale, tape, and glue
- Get googly eyes
- Get colored paper sheets
B.Process
Here is the step by step process of making the best type of toy box for your kid:
- Apply the double tape to wrap the wrapping paper around the box and make sure that you do not leave a crease.
- If the wrapping paper did not include the Disney characters, get their printouts and paste on the box (with wrapping paper on it) while making sure that you evenly distribute them to all sides of the box
- Repeat the same procedure to the lid
- There should be wrapping paper and cartoon characters on all sided and the lid
- Now use the colored paper (yellow, blue, red, white) and make shapes of funny characters from cartoon movies e.g. Minions and Angry birds
- Paste the googly eyes on the faces of the funny characters that you make with help of colored sheets
And that is it. If you want to go further you can use a transparent plastic sheet, make a hole (square or round etc.) in the lid and paste the plastic sheet inside to enable your kid to see through the lid and have a look at their toys.
People love their kids just as much as kids love toys. Make sure that you express your love by showing care for something that they love: toys.
