A cardboard box, laundry basket, empty diaper box, and even a full toy chest tends to provide more entertainment for Sean and Kate than Thomas or Dora. They just want to climb right in. Sean's nightmare is when a box is broken down to go to recycling. At this point, the box is a ramp for his Hotwheels or a makeshift Radiator Springs. It's a dance floor/marching mat for Kate.
Clever books have been written about the allure of the box. Antoinette Portis' "Not a Box" and Leslie Patricelli's "The Birthday Box" are both favorites.
