The Fastest Kid-Inspired House Remodel Ever
Add some walls and new rooms to your house this summer
ADDED July 26, 2010
This one is very easy, and it makes for a very fun activity for your kids.
Today, you and the kids are going to be changing the dimensions of your house. All you need is some masking tape.
Put the masking tape on the floors in your house to create new "walls" and "rooms." Of course, your kids should definitely contribute their thoughts as to where new walls and rooms should be.
And of course, everyone needs to respect the tape walls. No stepping over or through them!
Make the rooms as interesting and complicated as possible. When you're done laying down the tape, have the kids stroll through the new spaces you guys have created to get a feel for the house.
Then, let your kids set up their toys in the new rooms. Your kids could dedicate each room to a different favorite toy -- this is the "Star Wars Figure Room," this is the toy truck room, and so forth.
Keep the new rooms in place for as long as you like. You could change the layout of the rooms after half an hour or so to keep the activity fresh.
And of course, when the kids are done, it's time to clean "house." Make sure they put all their toys away before you pull up the tape walls. Have fun in the new house!
