Vegetable Store Playtime Using Cutouts From Cardboard Crates!

Vegetable Cut Outs From Boxes for kid's play_1

I was the girl who once had a collection of California fruit crate ends (with gorgeous vintage labels) hanging on her kitchen wall in San Francisco (one of my first upcyclling projects that required tearing apart wooden crates on the street, oh my!) so I had to laugh when I found myself eyeing the cardboard vegetable crates that are often used by the store to deliver our order.

And then it hit me, the total graphics aren’t generally all that noteworthy, but the vegetables can be pretty great looking, so I decided that I should start cutting them out to use for craft projects!

Vegetable Cut Outs From Boxes for Play Store

But before you get around to making a mobile or a wall hanging of some kind using these vegetable cut-outs, they sure do make great fodder for a little game of vegetable store, don’t they? Recycling can be so much fun if you just open your eyes to the possibilities!

You’ll Need:

  • cardboard vegetable crates
  • strong hands
  • sharp scissors

How To:

Simply open boxes and cut out vegetables, but do be aware that you will need sharp scissors and strong hands. This is not something kids can do with any precision. I was thinking that one could make little stands for the veggies from slices of tp rolls with slits cut into them, I’ll let you know if I try that one, sure could be s cute way to assemble a little play store.

Enjoy!

    These are so cute! Such a fun way to use parts of those crates. Wish I had access to some…but am going to keep my eyes out for other graphics on cardboard boxes.

    Thanks Mich, hoping to make an eat your veggies mobile, though we really dont need to be reminded of that around here, fortunately! (My kids even dig into the salad with their hands, and I told them tonight that if they do that they cant have any salad! )Wouldnt there be lots of boxes like that at any vegetable store or market? Im assuming those wooden crates are no longer used in good old CA, so Im sure they were replaced by cardboard?

    My grandchildren would enjoy these, so now I’ll be looking for boxes when I visit the grocery store.
    I have liked your blog for a long time, your ideas are just charming and I’m thankful to learn about Israel first hand.

    Thanks so much Rhonda! It would be fun too to write on the back of each vegetable where it the world it was grown!
