"Let's Build A House"

One day last week, we decided to build a house instead of doing "school".
Of course they were still learning lots... they just didn't know it.
We cut down small trees and measured the sticks to make a frame.
Then we got evergreen branches to make the roof and the walls. The kids had a great time making it. They have been wanting to go outside and play house every day now. They pretend that they are lost and have to live in the woods until they are found. Or they pretend to be animals in their den. It has been a great prop for all kinds of imaginations
