AnonyMouse_39602 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Just want your thoughts please , we are trying to reduce our resources that we feel are surplus to requirements , we have a telephone box , silver with bt logo , made from mdf and excellent condition, we find the children remove the phone and never really use the box , possibly as not much room , possibly because many of them do not recognise using one or anyone else using one, therefore is it still relevant . Our dilemma is should we sell or convert it to a sensory box or something else , we would still have to pack away though.

AnonyMouse_11396 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hi if it's quite robust I would definetly keep it. Rocket, tardis, magic door, drivers seat, secret den all spring to mind. Could you revamp it at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_39602 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Yes Fb it is robust , we have a serious storage problem but hate to get rid of anything that could bed put to another use , up cycling would mean doing something that can still be flat packed away , thought of converting into sensory box , black out curtain for door , fluorescent stars on windows and something to make a roof then could possibly be used every day , does anyone else still use a telephone box in their setting ? Am I doing the right thing not using it for its original purpose , had a google last night and could not even find one to purchase which makes me think they are no longer used. The useable floor space is just enough for 2 at a squeeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 How about painting it so it could be any manner of things a ticket office, cafe, theatre, shed, post office, shop, just change the props that go on/in it :1b 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_39602 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks for ideas, we have a shop front that fits the bill for shop, ticket office , and yes the children will be involved , they loved standing on chairs to design and put together wall display last week and deciding what should go on and where 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
