20/52

A portrait of my children, once a week, every week in 2013.


20/52 Box fun

In many ways it's lovely how children find pleasure in the simplest of things, a ball of wool, a cardboard box, and spend hours enjoying them.  In other ways it makes me regret filling my house with miscellaneous pieces of brightly coloured plastic that get wedged down sofas and behind radiators.  This week my two sweethearts enjoyed a simple flat cardboard box for about an hour.   It was a tent,  it was a car, it was a sledge and probably many more things besides.  I love how this caught Wiggles peeking out and Biscuit's cheeky grin. I could snuggle those two right up.

    That's too cute! I really love how their imagination makes the simple things amazing again.

    This is so cute! I have no idea what it is about kids and boxes- more often that not, they seem to enjoy the box more than the toy that was in it!! xx

    We haven't had a cardboard box hanging out at my house for a while! Looks like I'll have to rectify that situation pretty quickly! What a fun photo!!
