My sweet Brother-in-law brought me a HUGE armload of egg cartons a while ago.  Love it!  We will be using them to house our fresh eggs when we give them away.  However at the rate our chickens are laying we will never run out of cartons:)  We decided to try building with egg cartons, and the kids designed a fun fort.

Bree counted 83 egg cartons!  Time for a project.

There are so many fun things to do with egg cartons.  We often use them as our painting pallets and they are perfect for creating fun crafts.  However since this was the first time that we had such a large quantity of them we decided to build a big fort.

They even built a cute little window.

I love how much they love playing together.  There was lots of fun giggles as we were creating.  They had to cut a few of the cartons in half in order to keep everything stable.  I love watching them problem solve.

Our inspiration came from this amazing house and tank made out of egg cartons!  You should go check them out they are amazing!

I would love to hear how you like to up-cycle your egg cartons.
