I worked on my own Fort Box creation today. What fun! I opened up one side and lined the inside of a washer box with a roll of white paper so kids can write on the walls. I thought it might be fun since they can't write on them at home. Then I added paper towel rolls and toilet paper rolls (empty, of course) to the top and created a pattern with them. They look kind of spiky but cool. I wanted to spray paint it orange and yellow but Mother Nature isn't cooperating with me (it's raining!) but I have Monday and Wednesday to do that. I guess I won't get my living room back until Thursday... oh well, it's good we aren't excepting any company! What a sight! 3 garbage bags of "stuff" that I've been collecting to take for the kids to build their own creations. and the Fort Box is in the center of the room, I had to move the coffee table to the side to make room - our animals aren't sure what to make of all the obstacles.
There is a few more things I like to do:
I think I'll add some port holes for kids to look through and see what's happening on the other side!
Maybe some boxes glued to the sides for kids to count...
Is there any way to use anything else?
What a busy weekend it will be. The Green Street Fair, JJ's graduation and Steve's birthday! Yikes! Somehow it will all work out. : )
