But, like I was saying, I discovered some other fun books that are related to cardboard but not actually crafting books. Here are a few of them:
 Cardboard Box Genius
Cardboard is brilliant!
It is easy to work with, very strong, very light, and readily available. If you shop online you probably receive cardboard boxes regularly. This book shows you how to turn those boxes into creative projects.
This book includes a variety of projects that are designed to inspire different kinds of creativity.
The theatre of mystery and shadow (shown on the cover) will inspire storytelling. A puzzle box will inspire logical thinking. The mystery box project encourages curiosity and enhances the sense of touch. There are also two moving projects that show how versatile cardboard is.
Some of the projects in the book:
- A Shadow Theatre that inspires storytelling
- A Coral Reef diorama that glows in the dark
- The classic cardboard castle - But ingeniously made with just one box
- A carnival shoot game
- The one box periscope that doesn't need glass mirrors
- A Helicopter with spinning blades
- A Windmill that mills wind
 A Box can be many things
When you give this book to a child be sure you have a big box you can give them too!
Sherlock Holmes and the adventure of the cardboard box case 12
(On the Case with Holmes and Watson)
 What to do with a box
If you give a child a box, who can tell what will happen next? It may become a library or a boat. It could set the scene for a fairy tale or a wild expedition. The most wonderful thing is its seemingly endless capacity for magical adventure, a feature imaginatively captured in cardboardesque art by Chris Sheban and rhythmically celebrated in this poetic tribute by renowned children's author Jane Yolen.
 Boxitects
Meg is a brilliant and creative boxitect. She loves impressing her teacher and classmates with what she makes out of boxes. But there's a new kid at Maker School: Simone. Simone is good at everything, and worst of all, she's a boxitect too. When the annual Maker Match is held, Meg and Simone are paired as a team but can't seem to stop arguing. When their extraordinary project turns into a huge disaster, they must find a way to join creative forces, lift each other up, and work together.
Cardboard
Cam's down-and-out father gives him a cardboard box for his birthday and he knows it's the worst present ever. So to make the best of a bad situation, they bend the cardboard into a man-and to their astonishment, it comes magically to life. But the neighborhood bully, Marcus, warps the powerful cardboard into his own evil creations that threaten to destroy them all!
