Toddler Activity: Build a hut

I have been dreaming of teepees and cardboard castles and reading nooks for Anya’s room thanks to Pinterest! But still haven’t been able to make it yet.

However, one day we were trying to get rid of this broken IKEA dresser from Anya’s room and disassembled it somewhat. While I was at it though, I realized it would make an adorable little temporary play hut for Anya.

So for one afternoon or two, this little guy sat in our living area and then our kitchen. We put a cushion in it and some toys/pillows etc. so she could sit in it and read.

Take a peak!

Cute right? I had plans for wallpapering the insides to cover up the holes from where the drawers etc. were. And then maybe make a little sloping cardboard roof on the top! Are you imagining what I was? lol.

Sadly, we realized it wouldn’t probably work because it was too big for Anya’s room and she kept bumping into it! Sigh! Anyways it made a fun little nook for her for the few days that it stayed. Meanwhile I’m still dreaming of the perfect DIY hut/teepee/nook for her room!

Thanks for stopping by!

Toddler Activity: Outdoor Sensory Tub

Hey lovelies,

The weather has been lovely here. Nice and sunny and kind of hot too most days, which is great, because yes, I like summers to feel a bit like summers. Because hot summer days remind me of back home. And it also gives us a chance to make some hot summer day traditions for our little family.

We make a water based sensory tub for Anya on hot days and she enjoys it while I sit on the deck and catch up on some reading:)

Would you like a glimpse? Check it out!
