School holiday fun - card houses

week 2 of the school holiday and we're having an "at home" day today. In church yesterday Turtle busied himself building structures out of hymnbooks, and I thought that I would introduce him to card houses... The boys have been working hard at it for an hour now, trying to build 3 tiers. I am impressed with their patience and concentration. Every time their structures collapse, they start up again, tweaking the design slightly to make it more balanced and sturdy.

  2. Mari you have such wonderful ideas for activities for your kids. I have to store them all away for when my boys get a bit bigger!
