MEGA BLOCKS
If you're a parent ( and/or possibly a home-gym-er), you have probably acquired foam floor tiles at some point in your childproofing/ soundproofing/ protect my precious baby and/or hardwood floor days. We have surely floated the industry if you have not....
But upon transition to a cleaner space, we realized a) no one wants your dirty old floor mats and b) they're not recyclable! This made us very sad...but not defeated!
With a little bit of craft-geneering, we discovered you van turn 6 floor tiles into a GINORMOUS building block! And so... we did just that!

Supplies
Floor foam mat tiles (In multiples of 6)
That's it!
That's it!
Sort Your Tiles
Take your floor mat apart into individual tiles and sort them by color/ wear/ however you desire. Take note - if they were heavily used, u may want to organize them so the 'clean' backside will face out.
Put 6 Together in a Flat Cube Format
Ever do origami? Then you may know of the folding cube! If not, don't worry... it's simple.
Place 4 tiles in a row, then 2 on the 'sides' of one of the inner tiles as shown.

Fold Up and Repeat
Interlock the tiles in a 3 dimensional pattern, folding the 'walls' up first, then adding a top.
Enjoy!
Once all tiles are interlocked, you should have a cube!
Protip- the boxes with letters don't hold any weight, but the thick solid tiles are pretty strong in building block form!
