Early in February 2024 CMP and the city of San Diego received so much rain we didn’t know what to do with ourselves. Luckily, our teacher’s decided to create a Cardboard Challenge. The mission: Paint, color, build, whatever your class can imagine.
The Cardboard Challenge promotes imagination, teamwork, resourcefulness, creativity, and critical thinking. It allows children to engage in creative play- play that is expressed when children use familiar materials in a new or unusual way, engage in role-play, and imagination.

No matter the experience level, the Cardboard Challenge is a wonderful way to spend time together especially during a rain storm!
