Our family had a chance to check out Calafant cardboard toys from Creative Toy Shop. We recieved the Dinosaur and the Pirate Fortress.
My son helped me put the dinosaur together, then we colored it with the markers that came in the package with him. I was impressed when the markers work long enough to color the whole thing. Some toys (from other companies) have markers that dry up before you’re done coloring.
I think the dinosaur turned out really cute, he would be a fun activity for a dinosaur birthday party.

My son put together the Pirate Fortress. He had a hard time getting all of the parts attached together at the end. His dad and I both gave it a try, and we finally cheated and used a little tape to hold the towers and sides together.
I think we’re going to paint the fortress. It’s a little big to color with markers. He colored it a little on the other side, then gave up and decided paint will be better. If it turns out I’ll come back and share a picture.

Creative Toy Shop has a whole assortment of cardboard toys, including several castles, cars, and a tree house that looks like it would be fun for a Magic Treehouse Party.
These cardboard toys would make a fun summer activity to entertain the kids.
