if i had to pick which one to give to my 2-year-old son to play with, it'd be a box. he loves containers, of any size, anything he can put or pour inside them, or put on his head, etc. he likes sticks too but he'll just start wacking everything with one, string and cardboard tubes he might get bored with by themselves, and dirt is well too dirty.

Historically I have had the most fun with dirt and boxes, but string was my accomplice in what could have been the crowning achievement of my childhood. I took the kitchen twine and wound it decoratively around all of the trees in our backyard -- a lot of trees, we lived right over the Cuyahoga valley -- and then attempted to set it on fire so I could watch the fire zing around the string. Biiiiig trouble.

my childhood was more about testing electric fences and jumping off high things and throwing water at each other

Last weekend, one of my kids' friends brought over a Samsung laptop that he made out of a cardboard box.
