(Sorry for the bad picture quality. It seems every single photo/video device I have is out of batteries.)
We spend a lot of money on toys around here. In fact, just this weekend we spent a whopping 95 cents on a big box from Lowe’s because our kids wanted something new to play with. That 95 cents will provide hours and hours and hours of entertainment for them this week. And when the box is colored on and beaten up and battered? They will cry and beg me not to throw it away. Because a 95 cent box is their favorite thing in the world to play with.
They’ll turn that box into a tea party table, a space ship, pirate ship, baby doll orphanage, cave, car, and a Barbie jail. I won’t spend a better 95 cents this week.
What are your kids favorite low-cost/high-creativity toys?

Hope likes to make collages from newspapers and magazine. She will sit, snip, and glue for HOURS.

That is great!
Here it’s spoons. Bubba loves spoons. He stacks them, drums with them, lines them up end-to-end, clashes them together, and finds a million other ways to play with spoons. Who knew?!
