Rebecca from Hull, in the United Kingdom, shows us the cardboard cutout that she makes for her daughter.

Describe what you did…

My 5-year-old was missing her friends from school so we made her one out of a cardboard box. Lots of detail including painted nails and eye shadow. Took us hours!

What’s your next project idea?

No idea yet. Will look at your page for inspiration! 

Please tell us a bit about yourself…

My name is Rebecca and I have two children. 5-year-old Phoebe and 2-year-old Holly. We live in Hull, UK.

How are you finding being at home so far?

It’s going ok if we have something to do each day. 

Any tips to help people when they are housebound with kids?

Spread out the day and give children something to look forward too. I tell my 5-year-old “do this bit of work, then can do arts and crafts later” it usually works. 

Has our community helped in any way?

It’s great. I’ve found so many ideas to do with the children.
