Think Outside the Box Box

Supported by grant of $8,750 on July 26, 2012 through the Spark program

The “Think Outside the Box Box” is a tool for educators and child care providers to create opportunities for creative play during recesses, day care playtime, anytime! Think Outside the Box Boxes (TOBBs) are placed in play areas and supplied with a variety of safe and durable scrap materials collected by the Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse. Children re-imagine their world using these reclaimed loose parts, learning and practicing skills in art, creativity, engineering, problem solving, and socializing through play.
