The pegcraft is wonderful to see, we used to do similar when we were children. Pegs and ice pop sticks were used to create items for the dolls houses we'd make with cardboard boxes.
From shoe box size up, boxes can be put to great use. We even had two story houses. We would cut out windows and doors and even put sections in to create rooms. We'd use scraps of wallpaper and dressmaking material to decorate the walls, curtains, and make bedclothes. Beds were made with empty matchboxes.
Child size Playhouses can also be made from big cardboard.
Then if something happened to the homemade toy it did not matter and there was no money wasted and my younger siblings had fun for hours.
Great to see kids being creative.
