2009-Oct-6 - Box Fun~
With winter coming, and fall underway,,,I got to thinking about some kiddo fun...their creative juices can just flow in the right environment~HOME!
Here's a few ideas:
Box Play~got some boxes around the house? The bigger the box the more fun it can be! When a kid I played in a box with my little brother. We had tiled floors and we pushed each other up and down the hallway...we each fit into the box with our legs crossed and off we went...It was so much fun! Enough kids and enough space and the RACE IS ON!
Box play~building a house or fort. I've done both of these in MY life! Bigger boxes do this best, but enough smaller ones will make stacked buildings too~add an old blanket or two...sheets work well for this as they are less weight and will stay better~We also used to get Mama's clothes pins (the ones with the springs) and clipped the sheets to the box edges! This made a nice little hideout or 'home' for my dollies!
Box play~puppet show...now this is easy too...Are you making puppets in your homeschooling? If you have young children, a brown sack (these can be from recycled sacks~I save mine!) and some colored paper, markers, paper plates, stickers or WHATEVER you might have and let your children create! Then the show can begin with the character your child created! THIS IS SOO much fun!
Box play~Car ramps and garages for the small playing cars...or make a car...boys LOVE boxes too!
Hope this is useful as the indoor season is almost upon us!
