~ Templates: le chat, le chien, la chèvre, le renard, le cheval, le pingouin Supply List to Make Patterned Cardboard Animals: My daughter is studying French animal names at the moment so I took inspiration from her this time as I made the templates. These animals only took two boxes, unfortunately.

The recycler in me had to make something out of them. If any of you have moved recently, you know what a bummer it can be to have these boxes still sitting in the corners of all your rooms. We have sooo many boxes left over from our move last month. Originally published in February, 2014 on the blog Small for Big: These patterned cardboard animals were really fun to make both for me and my kids! They sit on our mantle currently and I love how they bring a pop of color and whimsy to our home. By now you all know that I am a lover of cardboard (as professed in my latest book, Cardboard Creations), and am always thinking of new ways to re-use my collection of recycled boxes.
