Who needs real toys? I mean seriously. Wish I'd known we could have more fun with cardboard diaper boxes, card stock, masking tape and a lazy susan. Countless parents have warned me about this, so now I'm warning you.
Don't buy toys. (or, in our case, accept hand-me-downs for free)
Make them.
The less realistic, the better.
I give you Exhibit A
Remember when I made this for Lucian?
He lost interest in it after a while, so I was about to put it into recycling when he discovered something new he could do with it. It's no longer a stove. Now it's a spaceship. Oh, and he also now has a co-pilot!
Exhibit B
Enjoy your kids.
