   Retrieve an old cereal box. There are no set measurements for the box. It depends on how big you want your ramp.
2. 
   2
   Lay the box on its face and open the bottom box flap.

   3
   Take a pair of scissors. Cut up the right creased side of the face of the box until the bottom scissor tip hits the top of the box.
4. 
   4
   Cut up the left creased side of the face of the box. You should now have a flap that was once the face of the box.
5. 
   5
   Flip the box on its side and cut off half of the box, leaving the flap untouched. Now the flap should look longer than the box connected to it.
6. 
   6
   Set the "box" upright. The box should be able to stand on its own and you should have a basic box ramp.

   • To give it a more stable look, lay the ramp on a piece of spare cardboard that's bigger than the ramp itself.
7. 
   7
   Trace the outside of the ramp. Remove the ramp from the cardboard.
8. 
   8
   Cut out the rectangular piece and use that piece to cut out a second piece.
9. 
   9
   Tape or glue the pieces onto the ramp. You should then have a more sturdy ramp.
