.....the coolest box fort ever!! We recently received some equipment that had great boxes that we used to construct our fort. After completion the children were able to explore the space, using a flashlight to navigate their way through the dark space (the lights were also turned off if the children wanted it to be darker). We put a few add on's for extra excitement!
A periscope to see the outside world
Some flashing lights
A blower to keep us cool and to create a wind tunnel
As the day went on we even added some blue boxes to extent our entrance! All the excitement was amplified by the Stars Wars Soundtrack playing in the background!
Fun was had by all the school-age children this in-service day, even the box builders had a great time re-visiting some childhood memories!

I could not believe how fast our staff reacted to getting the new equipment from Community Playthings. Interestingly enough they were as excited about what they could do with the new crop of large cardboard boxes as they were about the new outdoor equipment. It is wonderful to see adults and children create together and then both enjoying the fruits of their labour. It is also wonderful to see how the staff work together to ensure everyone gets a chance to enjoy the creations. Team work is a wonderful thing, both in sports and at work.
