Stay Cool Indoors with Building Blocks – Fun Stuff to Do
Anywhere
I was going to write another post today about building with
Legos with your kids. We are big fans of Legos in our house. Yet as I thought
about what I wanted to write, I realized that any sort of building block would
work.
When the heat is keeping you stuck playing indoors, building
blocks can be a ton of fun. Especially if the whole family gets into it
together. Especially if you aim for a creation on as grand a scale as your
building materials allow.
My girls once used every type of building block they had,
along with most of their little plastic animal toys, to build a zoo that took
up their whole room. I think the Ikea wooden train even got involved (mimicking
the train ride at the Oakland Zoo, I’m sure.) On another occasion, they recreated
Ponyville from their beloved TV show and Comic series ‘My Little Pony:
Friendship is Magic’.
What your family chooses to create is entirely up to you and
the things you love, but make it big! If the kids (and the parents) aren’t
ready to let it go when it is time for clean up, try taking a few snapshots of
it to remember it. Or, if you can still make it to the beds and the bathroom,
consider leaving it up another day. It’s something your family created all
together – just be proud of it and have fun!
