[...] Me Again Why We Buy Toys — Blonde Mom Blog. I had to laugh at this. I posted something similar a few weeks ago. It never ceases to amaze me how long a child can entertain him/herself with a [...]
So much money wasted on toys when all along here was an easy cheap option. Note taken. Thanks : )
I read NW all the time. I don’t think I ever knew her name was Cyn. Off to check out her story now!
Boxes are fun and cheap entertainment.You are a brave mother for letting her do it in the kitchen. I send the boys to the garage to work on their box decorating.
I need to find a couple boxes and then invite the neighbor kids. They’d have so much fun.
I am so glad you let her do that. That is so much fun. What a boost to a kid’s imagination! (Points for frugal fun!)
Yeah, she has spent DAYS on that thing. I should take another picture. It’s quite embellished now.
Thanks so much for the shout out!
Our daughter was born and some of the simplest toys were a piece of paper or a box !! She would play in the box or admire the paper , just a small piece and observe how she could turn the piece various ways and watch the motions of her hand and the paper. She is very artistic now and loves to make cards for fathers day and mothers day !!! Those to me are some of the most cherished gifts one could receive.

Perfect! We are TOTALLY doing that the next time we get a big box!!
