Telling a colleague of my chance to appropriate some lovely large cardboard boxes for a task in hand, the reply was: "You are so easily pleased, lovely cardboard boxes." And I was - also it set me thinking.
Many people, including myself, have made the comment that you can buy a child an exprensive present - but they'll end up playing with the box.
Children will often play for hours with an empty box.
