Imagination Station

With the heat here soaring above 104 degrees, and a forecast of 105 for today, the need for creative indoor activities is higher than ever!  We have been STUCK INSIDE for the past couple of weeks and are running out of ways to reinvent the fun in the toys that we have.   Yesterday, however, we succeeded in our attempt to find something fun for the kids to do.  What can you do with boxes,  a hot glue gun, some clothespins, pillowcases, and random odds 'n' ends?  We made the "imagination station" - a puppet theater, drive thru stand, lemonade stand, or whatever inspires the kids and/or the moment requires.  It is still quite plain, but we will paint it today.  I am so excited to see what it turns out to be like when the kids "put the paint to the palace", so to speak!
