'Stand Guard - who goes there!'
We have had quite alot of rain in Australia during these winter holidays. Therefore it was time to come up with some more indoor activities! Luckily I still had a few boxes left over from when we moved house last year and one of them in particular gave me some inspiration…
USEFUL RESOURCES:
cardboard box, tape, stanley knife, marker pen, paper kitchen towell rolls, small toys
STEP 1
The great thing about this fruit and veg box was that it already had the little windows cut out of it's walls which lend itself brilliantly to looking like archers windows.
- draw the drawbridge door
-
- use a Stanley knife to cut the door shape out
- add on the towers ( otherwise known as paper kitchen rolls) using tape
Now that the bit with the knives and scissors is over, the children can join in with the making part!
- decorate castle walls to make it look authentic!
A cheap and easy way to get the children to play and develop their imaginary skills!
I love recycling!
So cool! I recently made my 2 year old niece a play oven out of a cardboard box and she hasn’t stopped playing with it. Boxes come in very handy!
