My kids have played with the same cardboard box for about six months now. I don't think any of their trendy, stored bought toys have had that kind of longevity. This box has been a castle, a boat, a car, a house, a fort, an office and now its a play house for Comet.
He really likes it too. I can see why though, even I couldn't resist climbing inside to snap a few photos.
And do you know what happens when they have a hand-me-down sand box, a few bags of sand, and some plastic cups?
I get an un-interrupted afternoon to catch up on the house work. Its a beautiful thing how easy it can be to make a kid happy.
