The kids have had this giant box taking up a large part of their bedroom for the last month or so. It has been a house, a slide and a spaceship among other things. It has now been destroyed beyond recognition from overuse and will leave their room whenever I get the chance to drag the thing outside, but I've loved having it.
Kids whining that there's nothing to do?
Just say, "Hey, remember that box upstairs!?" and they go running.
Kids beating each other up as a source of entertainment?
"How 'bout that box in your room?"
"Oh yeah!!"
Need to distract your kids in those few hungry minutes before supper is ready so they won't either have a meltdown or hide under the table with a box of crackers stuffing themselves full?
"Box!"
It worked for a few weeks anyway, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
The downside: It cost several hundred dollars.
The upside: It came with a free water heater.
