My three oldest grandchildren are in town. Since they were to spend yesterday afternoon with me, I thought it would be fun to have a little activity with them. I came up with the idea of turning cardboard boxes into cars that they could sit in and pretend to be at a drive-in theater. I had to explain to them what a drive-in theater was because they are extinct now, but they were plentiful when I was a kid.
They each picked a box from the attic, then we took them out back and began the work of turning them into cars. I asked Ethan to take a few pictures. He took 80 of them so I have plenty to choose from.
First, I cut off all the flaps and cut a door in the side of each box.
They got to decorate their cars and then we added paper plates for wheels and a steering wheel and decorated some more.
Then it was time to head back indoors for a Netflix children's Halloween movie, candy, and popcorn.
All in all, it was a very fun afternoon. I love my grandchildren and love spending time with them!
