Tissue box pony house

This DIY pony house/doll house is so fun and easy to make for kids. They get a real kick out of designing and making their own creations.

Material

3 empty tissue boxes
scissors, glue
paint, textas

Method

Cut out the top of the tissue box to create a 3 sided box.
Have your child decorate each room with paint or textas.
Glue the boxes in the configuration your child wants (eg. 3 stories upon across).
Once completed, pop in the ponies (or dolls) and voila - ready to play.

Notes

This can be adapted to anything: princesses, superhero caves, minions etc. You're only limited by your creativity!

Easy as ! I would add a door between the 2 lower boxes and a stair to the upper box, also add some windows with curtain with pieces of fabric and maybe make some furniture

I remember making dolls houses out of tissue boxes as a kid, among many other things. The good old tissue box can be put to so many good uses

Fantastic idea and it’s well known kids have more fun with the boxes than the toys haha

So cute! I just love what can be created with empty boxes. Not only will the kids enjoy playing with the end product, they’ll also have fun making it!

How cute. Love that it’s simple enough for the kids to put together themselves and can be adapted to be a doll house or fairy house or a garage for cars.

    They’re so handy and the best bit is you can recycle them when the kids have finished with it

Just goes to show you don’t have to spend a lot of money on expensive dolls houses when a shoe box does the trick. Thank you.

  Exactly! And the best bit is it is recyclable when they get sick of it or don’t play with it anymore
