Good Old-Fashioned Fun

1 empty box + 2 mini-screwdrivers = HOURS of fun!

My kids have been poking holes in this box for days now.  Sometimes Adam says he’s working on a car, sometimes he’s making dinner, and sometimes he’s digging for buried treasure.  Abby just follows along with whatever Big Brother is doing.  Hopefully no one loses an eye.

Another plus?  This box held a toy cleaning set that Adam got for Christmas when he was 2.  I pulled it out of storage for Abby, but Adam has been pretend cleaning ever since.  He even said, “Mom, thank you for my new cleaning set!”  Uh-huh…sure sweetie…no problem.

Just watch out! My oldest and his friend decided boxes weren't enough and took the screwdrivers to my bedroom wall when I was busy. Spent quite awhile spackling the wall and then just wallpapered over it!

I am seriously contemplating just giving my kids empty boxes for Christmas. At the end of the day they play with them longer than the toys that were in them anyway! ;) Even the oldest who is 11. LOL.
