Any kind of present that requires any kind of assembly in my house goes in the cupboard for a rainy day when Dad’s home. It isn’t raining but it is school holidays and Dad is home so today out came a Pirate Ship project that was to be built entirely out of cardboard. Mr 8 and his Dad sat at the kitchen bench for most of the morning and didn’t move until it turned in to a vessel Noah or Jack Sparrow for that matter would have been proud of!
It is huge this thing, it kept them busy for hours and quiet with no fights for the whole assembly process. Once it was built no one had any interest playing Pirates oh no they had other ideas, out came the Lego Starwars guys who boarded the ship for a ride of a life time. It came with cut out pirates but they didn’t cut it in our house anything and everything some how turns in to Starwars!
Little Miss 4 and Mr 8 played Lego Starwars Pirate Ships for most of the day. Such a simple idea given as a birthday present turned in to hours of fun for all three kids, that is husband and the two big kids! I am now not quite sure what to do with it, once it goes in the bedroom it will turn to recycling so it will stay out in the dinning room for the kids to play with until they are over it. Projects make school holidays bearable!
