What can you make w a cardboard box?

Thanks to amazon.com and their great pricing on diapers, we order once a month and they arrive at our front door. Bc we order two cases of diapers at once they arrive in a large shipping box.












Now you know how moms always mention that the kids like the cardboard boxes better than the toy inside? Well Abbie and I had a blast with this extra large box over a week or two... It started as an elevator/dog house...

 

Became a row boat... 

Next a puppet show stage

 
And eventually got cut down to a robot costume. We have since sent robot to the recycling truck... But know that soon enough more diapers will arrive for "littlest one" and more creative magic will happen.

What kind of things do you and the kids make with card board boxes?

Playtime with Painters tape

I have lots of mommy and me time with the two girls lately. So trying to find different ideas on what to do are now my hot topic. So when I saw the idea on pinterest to use tape on the furniture we had to try it. We taped roads on the couch and the floor, added a fire station, a "zoo", an airport, a house, treehouse, and a bakery... "Welcome to Abbieville". Abbie had a blast for a while and then we removed the houses and such... And suddenly our town was now a maze for each of us to maneuver... She still won't let me remove the tape... And while I was at work papa and her made the maze larger... I will give it one more day... Monday = new week / new tape / clean couch... So with winter coming I advise all mommies to grab painters tape and get ready... Cheap fun for hours of entertainment.
