This week I decided to use an old box to make a boat. All it required was me plopping the box on the floor and telling the boys that it was a boat. I helped them in and we sang "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" a few times. 
The toy mop and broom were transformed into paddles so the boys could row their way through the water. Justin did not want me to be a shark in the water, so I decided we would do some fishing instead. Justin as a fish puzzle with a little fishing pole that we got at Target last December. Perfect! Of course I have TWO boys, so I needed a second fishing pole. I took a plastic toy rolling pin, a bit of twine, a magnet from the fridge, and a binder clip. Those items became the second fishing pole! I also found some fish from a file folder game and stuck paper clips on them so that there would be more fish for the boys to catch. Easy.

Easy.I am hoping that the box doesn't get completely destroyed because I think it could be a fun totem pole at some point. The boys can really get the boat rocking though. Guess we must have some pretty major storms in our playroom.
