20 Tissue Box Play Ideas
I’ve really been enjoying our series of “7 Ways to Play” and wanted to come up with a variety of tissue box play ideas, but I was so inspired by the other ideas that already existed out there that I decided to do a round-up post and send some love to all of the creative parents and teachers out there who have come up with unique tissue box play ideas.
I’ve group this round-up into four categories: homemade tissue box toys, tissue box learning games and activities, tissue box crafts, and active tissue box games!

Love the gas station and the telephone! I think my 3 year old will love these 🙂 Gotta start saving some tissue boxes.
I fully went out and bought a cheap box of tissues just to craft with… is that wrong?
