Materials needed:
Large box
different fabrics
poly-fil stuffing
hot glue gun (do the gluing by yourself) or craft glue if the kids do the gluing
box cutter
My kids love to play with their animals and dolls. They love making "beds" which means every blanket and pillow in our house usually makes it to the floor for the "beds". So I thought if we made our own special beds for their toys that would alleviate the problem (at least for a day or two).
First use a box cutter to cut a large box in half. Since I have two little ones, I used both parts of the box for two separate beds. Of course, I cut the box away from their curious fingers.
Once the box is cut, the fun can begin. The kids loved picking their fabrics to cover their boxes. I had tons in my closet that never made it to all of those wonderful "projects" I had been planning on completing. Carefully glue one fabric to the outside of the box.
After putting on the outside fabric, fill your box with stuffing. You can then put another piece of fabric on and glue to the bottom of the box. Finish your beds by letting the kids add pieces of fabric and decoration. Don't worry about getting everything perfectly straight or neat.....let the children do most of the work. They take pride in their "very own" creations!

Ok this is one thing B will have to learn either at your place, or at school. Poly-fill/cotton/anything-fluffy (even cotton candy !) and I don't go together. The only word that comes to mind when I see cotton/poly-fill etc is ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ! I know I shouldn't coz it sets a bad example. So I'll avoid it when I can.
