Summertime Ideas…in and around Granby #1

Here's the first idea as you find yourself with all the children at home!

Go to Holloway's Appliance store on the Simsbury/Granby line and see if there is a refrigerator or dishwasher box.   Bring it home for a fort.   Let the children go wild with markers, paint, chalk.   Cut some windows in it.    Eat lunch in it.   Read some stories in it.   Make it into a castle, a rocket, a ship, a tunnel...anything you can imagine.   It can be something different every day!
