I posted this over at Readymade but I like it a lot so I’m going to post it here too. Mr. McGroovy’s Box Rivets allow you to construct sturdy play structures from large appliance boxes and he offers really great plans for castles, fire engines, trains, a princess carriage and even Santa’s sleigh. Take a look at these examples sent in by happy customers and tell me your inner third grader isn’t jealous you didn’t have that. Found via Cool Tools.

But I think there Remo version is meant to be eventually destroyed.

FYI: the MoMA Store sells the cardboard rocket ship from the Remogeneralstore.com I had a cardboard rocket ship and house as a child. The rocket ship was the result of a Proctor and Gamble UPC promotion.

My stepdad made these for us when I was a kid. One stepsister had a castle, and instead of a door it had a drawbridge, with plant-hanging chains in black plastic to open and close it. Very cool! Mine was a little house with a dutch door. We loved those things!

I’m gonna try to make this, for my cats! Still trying to figure out a multi-level one, though… I’ll find something eventually.
