brrr chilly days

Lately we've had some colder days so I've lit the fire and thought about how to keep the kids happy as well as warm for the day. A few days ago I remembered we'd kept the box from our new tv so after a bit of hacking with a bread knife ( by me!) we got out the tape and started building bridges, tunnels, car parks, race tracks and garages. The kids spent about an hour playing with it and when they're finished it will just go into the recycling ( or be used for something else!).
