Asked by a curious kid

"Why is cardboard important?"

Answered by AskBuni

Cardboard is super important because it helps protect all sorts of things when they travel! Think about your favorite toy or a new book – cardboard boxes keep them safe from bumps and scrapes. It's also really good at holding lots of things together, like when your grown-up gets groceries. Plus, cardboard is made from trees, and when we're done with it, we can often recycle it to make new cardboard. This is a special secret: cardboard is actually made of many layers of paper pressed together, which makes it strong but also light!
Fun fact: Cardboard is so strong that it can hold more than 100 times its own weight!
Fun fact: The first corrugated cardboard, which is the wavy kind, was invented in the United States in 1856 to help protect hats!
Buni asked:
If you could build a giant fort out of cardboard, what would it look like and what would you do inside?
A curious kid said:
"It would look like a bunny that's colored my favorite color and I would do secret stuff inside!"
Buni:
A bunny fort that's your favorite color sounds so cozy! What if this bunny fort had giant floppy ears that could actually flap and help it hop around to different secret spots? And since cardboard is so good at holding things together, maybe it could hold all your secret treasures inside!
