Fort McHome

 

Although not impressive, or even hardly to say the least – a fun idea to do in your home is to create a fort! Although mine works for my kids, I’ve seen some pretty impressive ones! My mom used to put four kitchen chairs together and throw a blanket on top, held down the clothes pins. We watched a movie in our little hide-a-way. It was usually the movie, The Secret Garden. One of my favorite books of all times.  It used to be my secret garden to travel to!

My kids like to put their toys under the table and pretend they are in a castle playing the prince and princess. Or travel to the zoo. They always seem to talk about the zoo or choo choo trains. Sometimes I even put a blanket under the table and we have a snack. How creative can your imagination become? I feel like mine is always at a red light and it will move to yellow but not quite green. I still have to remember what its like to be a kid. To use my imagination, to play firefighter and put the “fire” out of the table. I love listening to them and seeing what new ideas they come up with and then I go from there.

What do your kids play?
