Sometimes a morning is magic. Today my children used a saw, a sander, a square, and a drill (and safety glasses). They made their own tents. If you would like to make a tent (or five), you will need a three quarter inch dowel (around two dollars and fifty cents), two one by twos (a dollar a piece), one piece of braided elastic for each corner (pennies), an old bed sheet (priceless), also two cuts, four holes, light sanding, about fifteen minutes, and joyful excitement (times five).
*This post is part of a series. I've set aside one afternoon (or morning) a week to do fun activities with my children. In an effort to work out why it both draws and repels me, I choose these activities from Pinterest. This one comes from here, and I've pinned it here.*
