This is a phase which lasts much longer than you might assume. Nina, 7-going-on-8, has specifically asked for "a large box" for Christmas.

Yeah. Eleanor is after me on a regular basis to score many large boxes so she can put together a playhouse like one she built six months ago.

I can certianly recall my own tooling around with a cardboard box at a far more advanced age than you'd expect.

And I'm not referring to either of the boxes I used as computer cases (one still currently in use)
