I can’t tell you how many cardboard forts I made as a kid with my friends. The best one ever was when a friend’s family got a new refrigerator the one year and let us go to town with the box, making one of the best forts ever, but sadly I don’t have photos of it. Cardboard boxes are one of those items that everyone seems to have laying around, saving them for something, storing miscellaneous crap in them, like my Mother, or just putting them in the basement or closet to save for wrapping a gift or mailing something out. Point is, we all either have some lying around or can readily get them. Now it is time to put them to use and function, and have some fun doing it with the kids, big and little.

Foldschool.com is a site providing templates for anyone to download and create amazing furniture, all kid sized, but I’m sure with some ingenuity one could make it adult sized as well. The site is 100% add free and asks for donations if you like the site or have downloaded something. Given how cool this site is and the fact that it is ad-free, if you use their templates, throw them a few bucks.

If any readers do indeed make furniture from these templates, I’d love to see them. Please shoot me a message via the contact page; a follow up article featuring the furniture you create would be rad.
