cardboard castle....help

[Meri D]

My daughter's Princess birthday party is in less than two weeks and I have backed myself in a corner and promised to "build" her a castle playhouse out of cardboard boxes for her and her little friends to play in...I have a room full of different sized cardboard boxes but for the life of me can't figure out how to put them together to make the playhouse :{
Does anyone have any ideas or know of where I can find ideas..

Thanks;)

My dh made a pirate ship out of cardboard for ds's pirate party one year. We had access to large sheets of cardboard though, and that made it easier.

I've also seen bounce houses that look like castles - that might be fun if you could find one in your area.

Good luck and post back after the party. I love to hear party ideas - even princess ones (I've got 3 boys LOL).

Very cute site!!! I wish I'd thought of doing something like that when my dd was younger.
I hope she got her castle made (esp. since this thread is nearly 5 years old) :lol:
