Why toss that cereal box when you could turn it into prime real estate? Grab your scissors, glue, and a healthy disrespect for zoning laws — we’re making model buildings out of cereal boxes! Whether you fancy a Frosted Flakes skyscraper or a Cheerios cottage, this project lets you recycle, get crafty, and maybe finally use that glue stick you bought in 2007. Bonus: if your city collapses, you can eat the rubble.
