Nothing crude about it. My kids usually had more fun with the boxes that the toys came in than the actual toys!

A toy typically has a few ways to play associated with it. A cardboard box, on the other hand, now that's where the creative fun begins!

If anyone needs a primer, I suggest starting with the existing literature, namely Calvin and Hobbes.
