I can see a game of dominoes being made, depending on the amount of holes punched. Thanks for the idea.

I love lego; my daughter loves lego, too.

The matchbox looks cute, but could we use it for?

They’re great, I remember making dolls house furniture out of match boxes when I was young.

  We used them for arts and crafts too – beds for miniature dolls too.

Really clever – they look fanstastic! Definitely good for parties, or my kids would love them just to keep little “special” things inside!

What a clever idea. I know some little boys who’d love to help make these. And if I trod on one of these boxes, it sure wouldn’t be as painful as treading on normal Lego.

  Nothing worse than trodding on lego.

I thought they were real lego when I first saw them. An amazing use for matchboxes.
