At home with little people all day gives me the chance to explore different activities. We have a craft cupboard full of shoe boxes of useful items to inspire craft. This blog is dedicated to the adventures we have with our magical cupboard of fun and the renewal of my ability to see a cardboard roll morph into a tree, binoculars or bracelets.

Cubby House
I watched an episode of Better Homes and Gardens a while ago and Tara made a cubby house by cutting a piece of material slightly larger than the top of her dining table. Then she measured the height of the table and cut two pieces that were the height and length of the table, and two pieces that were the width of the table. She quickly sewed it together, cut a door and glued on decorations.
This is our version of it with scraps of material from my sewing cupboard. We wanted the doorway on one of the shorter sides because of the way our table is placed in the dining room this gives the best access. I love the way that the children can play with the cubby house and when they are done, I can fold it up to put in a cupboard. It is easier to store than most toys.
