2024 Cardboard Challenge (1).jpg

We are excited to partner with Soar in 4 and Palmetto Historical Park to host another free Cardboard Challenge!

What's a cardboard challenge?

Families will design and build something out of cardboard, recycled materials, and imagination inspired by the prompts that will posted around the Palmetto Historical Park and Manatee County Agricultural Museum. This event will foster creativity, ingenuity, resourcefulness, and more as they engage in creative play. 

The Global Cardboard Challenge is an annual initiative of Imagination.org. Inspired by the short film, 'Caine's Arcade', the Cardboard Challenge is a worldwide celebration of child creativity, and the role communities can play in fostering it. We encourage you to watch the original short film on YouTube to see the inspiration for this event!
