Sustainable Children's Toy: Cardboard Dump Truck

Children's toys are often used for a short time, replaced or forgotten as children lose interest. Cardboard is cheaper and more sustainable than plastic, and durable enough to last for the short period of use.

I wanted to prove that it would be possible to replace nearly any plastic toy with a more sustainable cardboard option, so I challenged myself to make something that went beyond just a static model. This truck moves just as a plastic version in the market would.
