Little kids always wind up playing with the empty box instead of the expensive toy. :) (Duckin' and runnin'!!!)

Enjoy your find!

I can also remember playing house in the wardrobe, especially at my granny's in Scotland.. What is it with kids and small spaces?

I have a empty pop can you may play with if you like. Diana, just wanting the good times to roll

wooooooohooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

That sounds fun to me even at this age! Diana

small spaces are easier to touch the sides, a bit womb-like, our first favourite place. :D jeanne*

oooh, don't forget the puter...because I'd miss you terribly, and would feel left out. I wanna make a fort, too...hey, let's all do that...make a fort in the middle of the living room. It's a thought...

DS ( nearly 10)still loves playing in boxes. Considering how sturdy ( Drs term) he is its amazing the size box he can fit into.

There is a coziness, a feeling of safe, and My Size inside someplace small. I used to pad the bottom of my closet with blankets and pillows and read or snooze. It was a private spot.. Thanks for reminding me of it! Diana

Oooohh tent citys!!!! Yes! Lets! The rest of the world dissappears when one crawls inside a tent. No phones... please. Diana

LOL @ all of you! I used to crawl under my desk (it was one of those corner ones) as a teenager with a blanky and my rag dolly and rant and rave at the world as I saw it! Haven't done it in years. Hmmmmm

and I thought babies liked to be wrapped up snug? DS has always preferred to have his arms out to wave/thrash around, and of late regularly kicks his way out of what he's wrapped in. Ive taken to putting him in a sleep bag to keep him covered!

When I was 13 I went to visit my sister (recently graduated from college with a psych degree) in Dallas. The guest room had a huge (to me) walk in closet. The stray cat they had taken in had had kittens. I would take the kittens into the closet with me and play with them for hrs. My sis, the new psych major, kept trying to analyse why I was doing this. Duh! They can't get away from me in the closet!

Someone's been watching "A Beautiful Mind" too much, methinks!

Honest. There were kittens involved! (that time)
