A couple of weeks ago some friends were moving into a new house and thoughtfully saved the large appliance boxes for our kids. Although I’ll admit to grumbling a few times about how the boxes pretty much fill up all the walking space in our living room, my kids LOVE the boxes and watching them use their creativity to make forts/caves/tents/jails/hide-and-seek spaces/boats/etc. is worth the cramped living room space for now.
A bit of quiet-time privacy:
No more rained out tea parties.
In a box, microwave popcorn and a Netflix movie are as good as the drive-in theater.
But this–this is my favorite and almost makes me want to find a permanent space in our home for the boxes.
Such a cozy, comfy reading space.
If you’re interested in making your own cardboard box forts, try visiting an appliance or home-improvement store and ask if they’ll save a box or two for you. Most places just recycle the boxes, and don’t have a problem giving them away.
What a great and inexpensive play area. So fun. Love those pics of some of my blessings.
