Cardboard House Fun

Last week it RAINED AND RAINED AND RAINED…. there was flooding in parts near here…. luckily apart from our ongoing roof leaking issues we did not have and problems with the rain. It has now been dry for 3 days, but the grass is still soggy….. it was that sort of rain.

Needless to say we have been playing inside a lot this last week. Luckily we found a great bargain at a local discount shop. We found a cardboard house for $12.95!!

It came completely white, and we have been having fun decorating it and playing inside all week.

After a week of some rough boy play, it’s still standing……. JUST!!

It’s much more colourful and has been a great source of entertainment. All the pictures were on the cardboard box that the house came in. A great use of resources. Hardly any packaging wasted :) Obviously we coloured them, and the boys had a great time gluing them on…. It’s hard to see, but the also did a lot of stickers.

The rainbow on the roof was done by Sal, with the help of the boys. We drew arcoiris (Spanish for rainbow) together. I asked for the coloured crayons in spanish and the boys got them for me. I have no idea how to speak Spanish, but with the help of Dora and Diego, we are learning together. tn_IMG_5473 tn_IMG_5474
