The Power of the Styrofoam

I have a wonderful sister (Kasandra) who is an amazing mother. She is always doing fun, developmental things with her boys. I always feel less than I could be when I think of all the exposure her kids get to brain food. Well, here is one of those fun things I never thought of doing that she introduced us to.
I was outside this morning pulling the empty trash can back to it's spot, when I noticed the box that once held our dinning room table had blown into the yard. In cleaning it up I saw some Styrofoam boards. I remembered the activity Kasandra had told me about so I took it inside. I rounded up some toy hammers and nails and let the boys go to town banging and creating. They seriously spent a good hour or more entertained. It was fun to watch them and great to be able to finish cleaning my kitchen. Here are some cute pictures to remember the fun.
