How Do You Make A Play Tunnel?
Children love to play in homemade tents and tunnels. Although there are many kids’ tunnels you can buy, it is easy and inexpensive to make one for your child. Appliance shops will usually be happy to give you their boxes. Old appliance boxes are handy not only for tunnels, but also for forts. Good boxes to use include refrigerator boxes and washer and dryer sets. With a little creativity, you will have a tunnel in as little as an hour. Step 1 Phone appliance stores or companies nearby and ask if they have any refrigerator boxes you could have.Refrigerator boxes make great tunnels, but any larger box will do to make a tunnel. Step 2 Arrange your boxes in a tunnel shape. Depending on the types of boxes you have, your tunnel’s shape will vary. Two refrigerator boxes laid end to end make a long straight tunnel. If you have several small boxes, you can make a curving tunnel by cutting and taping the boxes with duct tape. Step 3 Using your utility knife, cut your boxes to adjust their shape.
