For the Love of Cardboard: Ball Drop

 Cardboard Ball Drop

For all Pinterest fans, this is a no-brainer.
Using only two objects; a cardboard box & a ball (or two), you can create hours of free-play.

 Expanding on Creativity

Notoriously, O (and most kids I am guessing) had her own twist on the game, when left to her own devices.
She collected the carboard circles that I cut out to make holes, and re-inserted them.
She then used the balls to push them through. She liked this version far better than the original idea.

 Ice Skates

Putting another spin on the game, she took the circle cut-out's and started to 'skate' on them.
When this was ineffective (they kept sliding out from beneath her), she ran to get a pair of socks and slipped the circles in the socks.
Then she proceeded to 'skate' around the living room, leaving the cardboard box and balls in the dust!

I love this kid!
