FORT FRIDAY CARDBOARD EDITION

I LOVE playing with cardboard. We lived next to a man who worked for a company that made boxes or something but he’d always bring home these perfectly cut forts for his kids and we were jealous.

Give a kid a toy in a box for Christmas and what does he play with? The box! For whatever reason cardboard gets the imagination going. Don’t recycle it just yet – save it up for your boys to put to good use.

(the only bad thing about it is that it’s hard for kids to cut)

Lego minifigs need forts too! from What I Made

DIY PLAY AND STORE TOY MAT

Sawdust and Paper Scraps shared a very smart DIY on their blog. It’s a Play and Store Toy mat where you can play in a city and then cinch up the mess when you’re done. You could build Lego skyscrapers and drive around town with your Matchbox cars or Thomas trains.

MINIFIG/TOY BACKDROP

To go along with my secret stash we have some fun things that the boys like to do while waiting at a dinner table or airplane or wherever they need to sit still for a long period of time. One of those is making backgrounds for their Legos, plastic animals, Playmobils or whatever small toy they happen to have along at the time.

BACKPACKS

Back to school shopping seems to be in full swing and my boys aren’t too happy with the thought yet but they are kind of getting into the new clothes. My oldest wants to use his backpack from last year but my youngest needs a new one so he’s weighing his options. I’d definitely like something that will last but he has to like it too!

SECRET STASH

We like to be out of the house often and have since the boys were little. Short trips, long trips it doesn’ matter we just like to go! We also like to eat out. All that going and eating out still means lots of having to sit still, which for boys, is usually the complete opposite of what they want to do.

When they were younger I started keeping a secret stash of fun things to do when having to sit still. It’s changed a lot as they’ve gotten older. This is what my stash looks like right now

HARRY POTTER CAKE

I shared tons of pictures yesterday of the actual Harry Potter party but we like to have a fun celebration with our family and close family friends as well. As they’ve gotten older the boys cherish their family SO much, but they are just kids and when their school friends are around, they want to play with their school friends. This gives family a chance to see the birthday boy and him a chance to see them.
