This week in school, we are reading Katy and the Big Snow and learning all about how a city runs. I found this idea on Pinterest months ago and thought it would be fun to do with boys.
OH. MY. WORD. I truly underestimated the awesomeness of this little project. If I hadn’t run out of painter’s tape, we would have had our roads spanning the entire kitchen floor. The boys have played happily all week and it has been a life-saver when I’m trying to bake something or get dinner on the table!
This is a great idea for rainy days, winter days, even I’m-dying-for-a-break-from-these-kids days. I did the majority of the taping, but I’m sure a child slightly older than my oldest can be left free to his own imagination.
P.S. My husband thinks I would make a fine urban city planner. Please take note of my amazing parking lot. 🙂
That is a great project! My boys would love it. I might have to come up w/ some carpet version of this…Anyways, got your comment on my blog about what grade my son is in. Well, to be honest with you, I have no clue. We say he is in 1st grade, but the handwriting wrkbook I'm getting for him is for K. His bday is in Nov 29th, so he'll be 7 this year.
What a great idea! I love that you have three little boys! With only two…but the likely promise of another male someday down the road…I can probably learn a lot from you! So nice to 'meet' you 🙂
This is a GREAT idea. We have loads of painter's tape, too. My girls would even like it!
So simple yet I'm sure it provided hours of fun =).
that's so awesome.
a little boy's perfect afternoon.
Oh my goodness! This is such an awesome idea!
