In my quest for activities for the boys combined with blog stalking I had an epiphany.
Instead of just having the boys use sheets and pillows for forts why not boxes?
The grocery store produce department has tons of boxes and they will give them to you for free.
So I asked and I got over 30 boxes.
A good start
Do you remember that vinyl shower curtain from the dollar store?
Time to color
And now to let them construct…
A giant fort with boxes and the shower curtain for the roof.
After they are done with the boxes we store them in a spare room and when they are destroyed they can be recycled.
This afternoon of imagination cost us a dollar.
Perfect!
Very cool! Looks like a lot of fun Morgan! neat idea! I remember using a big cardboard box to play when I was little… but I pretended it was an old big jukebox so I even made a small opening and cut small pieces of paper (like if they were bills) and had my sister get them inside the opening and “request her song” so I would sing from inside the box (and I even talked like there was a DJ in there) LOL! The things my siblings had to put up with for my need of being the “center of the show” LOL!
ah! You brought back good memoreis!
