Near Jollyplay in Boxland, on Boxcraft Road to Fun, There lies a children’s village—a very happy one. Its buildings are all boxes—the hotel and the store, The school-house and the station, and many others more! The name of it is Boxville. Its villagers are toys, And those who build in Boxville are merry girls and boys. You, too, may go to Boxland to make a house for play— Look! Here, you’ll see the guide-post! Before you lies the way. Take cardboard boxes with you—maybe, some paste or glue, A pencil, and a paint-box,—and take your scissors too. I’ll tell you all about it. We’ll start—the turning’s here— It was a fairy told me about this village, dear!

=Material Required to Make Boxcraft=: cardboard boxes, paste, scissors, crayons or water-color paints; perhaps a ruler, and pencil will help.
Do you believe in fairies? I do. I know three of them, and they are quite as wonderful as Cinderella’s fairy godmother. She could make a coach and pair out of nothing at all but a pumpkin and some mice, but the fairies that I know can do even better than that! They can make a whole toy shop full of toys from nothing at all but some cardboard boxes.
