Cardboard Creations – DIY How to Make a Big Blue Mailbox

Posted on by
Reply

My son has been really into Daniel Tiger lately and we recently watched an episode where they send a letter in the mail, then go the post office and learn about how mail is processed and the like.

Since we made personal mailboxes last month I thought it would be fun to make a big mailbox this month.  Now my son can pretend to be a mail carrier and writing letters to each other has gotten to be even more fun.

Supplies Needed: 

  • A big, thick, rectangular cardboard box.  I chose one that was about two and a half feet tall. 
  • 2 smaller thick cardboard boxes
  • A thin cardboard box (like a cereal box)
  • A hot glue gun
  • Paint
  • Foam paint brush
  • Exacto Knife 
  • Ruler
  • Scissors 
  • 2 toilet paper rolls

Steps to Create A Large Cardboard Mailbox

  1. I started by creating the feet of my mailbox.  I took a small thick cardboard box and measured out a square in each corner of the box.  Then I made a slight inward triangle on the side perpendicular to the square I just measured making sure that the triangle line didn’t quite reach the corner.  Make four of these and cut them out.
  2. Next take a long piece of thick cardboard, at least as wide as the wide side of your main rectangular box, and run it along the edge of a counter or table to break apart the ridging of the cardboard so that it will bend to form an arch.  Once it’s flexible enough to bend in a semi arch (it doesn’t need to be perfect at this point, you’ll fix it later) glue the arch to the top of your main box.
     
  3. Now lay the arch part of your box down on a piece of thin cardboard (like a cereal box).  Use your hands to push the cardboard arch around until it forms the curve you want for your mailbox then trace the curve on your cereal box.  (Make sure the printed side of the cereal box is facing your mailbox.)
  4. Remove your mailbox and make another arch about an inch above the arch you just traced. Cut out your traced arch leaving a thick tab at the bottom so you have something to glue to your mailbox.
  5. Now cut small lines in your cereal box from the outer arch to the inner arch.  Space each cut out about an inch.
  6. Bend each of these cuts inward so they form a curve.
  7. Glue the bottom tab of your traced arch to your main rectangular box and bend all your folded pieced into the boxes main arch. This should force the main arch of your mailbox into the shape your formed.  When you have it in place run a line of hot glue along all your tabs and push them into your mailbox securing the side.
  8. Repeat this process for the other side.
  9. Draw a small rectangle on the front of your box where you want the letter shoot to be. Use your Exacto knife to cut out the top three sides of it and press your ruler along the bottom of it when you pull it open so your box will crease in the proper place.
  10. Turn your box over and cut another rectangle in the back with the same process so letters can be retrieved.
  11. Trace a small plate on a piece of thin cardboard and cut it out, then cut strait through the middle of it.  Glue these two pieces to the sides of the open slot at the top of your mailbox to form the shoot.
  12. Take a toilet paper roll and smash is flat, then bend it in a “C’ shape.  Glue one edge of it to the top mail slot to form a handle.
  13. Repeat that process with a second toilet paper roll to create a handle on the bottom mail slot.
  14. Glue the four “feet” of your mailbox to the bottom of your rectangle.
  15. Finish by painting it and you’re ready to go. 

 Thanks for reading!

Touring Boston – What to Know About Kayaking the Charles River

Posted on by
Reply

My husband and I recently celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary, and per my request, we headed off to the Cambridge docks so we could go kayaking as part of our anniversary date.

I have been wanting to go forever, but it’s super hard to make it happen with a toddler and I figured it would be even harder with both a toddler and a new baby.  Since I’m well into my 8th month of pregnancy I pretty much just sat in the front of the kayak, calling commands to my husband who paddled us around the river.  Perfect… and pretty good representation of where we are after 7 years.  🙂 To my surprise, my husband, who hates all things dirty and outdoors, loved the activity too.  We had so much fun being able to chat while we floated around our city.

Things to Note:

1) Price
We rented our kayaks through the Charles River Canoe and Kayak Company.  A double Kayak, like we’re riding in is $20/hour or $80/day.  They also have lots of different options including single Kayaks, Canoes & Paddle Boats.

2) Reservations
You don’t need one.  Just show up.  Chances are high that they’ll have something you can check out.  If you’re worried about it I’m sure you can call in advance to reserve one.

3) Process to Rent
I thought this would be a little more difficult than it was.  Pretty much we showed up, filled out a few forms, signed a whole bunch of wavers stating that we understood that death could be an outcome of this activity and that is just part of the sport… and took a quick mini quiz outlining the rules of the river.  The whole process took less than ten minutes, I don’t think they even looked at our waivers or checked that we actually understood the rules of the river before we were ushered off to get a life jacket and boat.  (You’ll need an ID and cash to pay for your rental)

4) Ages Allowed to Participate
I always assumed that this would have to be a couples only activity for us, but turns out you can invite the whole family.  They would have been fine having my toddler come along and we could have strapped him in to share a seat with one of us… but then you run the risk of a toddler getting bored and trying to go swimming in the nasty Charles River water…  In any case, know that young children are allowed to come.

Summary and Rating ★★★★★

Five Stars.  We had a fantastic time getting to see the city from this vantage point and it was so much fun being able to talk while be out on the water together.  We went on a fairly windy day and were still able to paddle around without a problem, and on some days you can even rent a Kayak at the top of the river and paddle down to around Harvard and drop it off there, giving you a greater chance to experience the river.   This is one my favorite activities we’ve done to date and I would highly recommend it.

Supplies Needed:

  • Colored Craft Paper
  • Letter “N” Cutout
  • Elmer’s Glue
  • Noodles (one variety or many)
  • Markers

Set Up:

We started by covering our “N” with a thin layer of glue, I let my son help with the glue. Then we added a bunch of noodles to it. I attempted a pattern while my son was more than happy to just take handfuls of pasta and drop them across his “N” letting them land where they may.  We let our “N” dry then gently turned them over to dislodge any loose noodles before gluing our “N” to our full sized craft paper.

When we finished we talked about what some of our favorite foods were.
