a castle for princesses...

I saw the cutest idea for making a cardboard box castle last week, and wanted to do it ALL week so that Trinity would have something to keep her busy during spring break.  But, life happened.  And 2 sick kids.  Yesterday I Snagged a couple boxes from work, and picked up some fake flowers and extra glue sticks from the dollar store this morning and we finally got around to making our fab Rapunzel-Esq castle today! 

The girls we great helping paint everything.  Here they are working on the front door.

and they are super Excited about it!


Of course, a princess castle wouldn't be complete without pink floors!!  And I had to sew up a couple barbie beds and pillows. :)




TA DA!  The finshed product!
 
I think it turned out awesome!  My girls are in heaven playing with their barbies in there, and I am in heaven listening to them laugh with each other and using their imaginations.  And, I totally feel like I scored some serious cool mom points.  I really need to do more fun things with my kids, they're great.


I totally recommend this for a fun and CHEAP activity.  I only spent $3 on this project.  Most of the materials are things I already had at home and you can always get free boxes!
