We've all seen the VISA ad where playing with the box the toy came in is a priceless moment. So we all know that toddlers love boxes. This said I was very excited when my mother-in-law kindly saved us the huge box from her new chest freezer. I took it home and it sat in the way in our study for ages until one night I got all creatvie and drew all over the flattened box with a permanent marker. I drew doors and windows and plants all the way around the box. Then I made him a mail slot and drew (very badly) the two decorative tiles from beside our front door on the box.
Once I'd cut the doors and windows I realised that they would be impossible to shut from the inisde. Curious George's favourtie pass time at the moment goes along with his favourite word - shut. Sometimes he comes up behind me when I'm choosing clothes from my cupboard and says "shut, shut" and then closes the door on me. So I had to make sure he could "shut, shut" the windows and doors of this house. I got the idea to cut the oval holes in in the door and window frames from a play house I saw at Papachinos over the weekend. All credit goes to daddy for working out how to make the top of the box into a pitched roof - well done.
Here are the photos of daddy and Curious George playing in the house when we finally set it up and stuck it back together.

| "Shut, Shut" the windows. Turns out this is best done from outside the house. |
