I recycled a toy box that we were already using and added all of the invention materials to it. Where did I get the invention materials? I gathered things that may typically get thrown away, such as: empty paper towel tubes, toilet paper tubes, string, pumps from lotion bottles, covers to bottles, cardboard that comes in packaging, etc. Just make sure to rinse any items that have food or lotion on them before you add them to the box. I then have a supply area that contains scissors, masking tape, scotch tape, glue, string and duct tape. I set it up in a designated area and let the kids dive into the box! I'll post a few of the inventions that the kids created. Enjoy!
