I think many of us remember as kids the many forts, fortresses, and castles we made out of big brown paper gift boxes. It was nice to be the ruler of the domain, directing our royal subjects to do our bidding. For a brief moment in time, we were no longer the smallest kid, or the awkward kid with glasses. In our corrugated box fortress we were invincible to giants, and didn't have to take orders from anyone. King of the world! Even if only for an hour.With all of our current technology to keep us engaged, everyone has noticed a young child at Christmas playing with the customized paper cake box more than the toy. Our fascination and imagination with those unassuming brown corrugated boxes extends to every child. Maybe that's the attraction? It's a blank canvas, with which we can make anything we want.
