Promoting Creativity and Learning for Children with Corrugated Packaging

When we think about corrugated packaging, boxes used for shipping goods are probably what comes to mind for most adults. However, when given to children, those same boxes bring to life a world of wonder and creativity. What child doesn’t gravitate to empty boxes for play? From castles and robots to forts and rocket ships, corrugated boxes inspire a child’s imagination and help them understand how the world around them works. We asked employees to share some creative ways they and their children have used corrugated boxes.

While moving homes, six-year-old twins put extra corrugated packaging to good use building a private fort and backdrop for their toys. “I was worried the boys would have nothing to do while we packed up the last of our house,” said Mary Beth Sharp, Vice President of Marketing. “But they came home from school and were super excited when they saw the extra boxes. They each made their own space and were content long enough for us to finish loading the moving truck.”
