Tissue box condos.......

Curly Girl was at it again this weekend. She had me save up a bunch of tissue boxes for a few weeks, then she took them into her room to 'create' something for her little pets. I always know where to look when my tape goes missing!

She made this giant 'condo.'
It is soooooooo cute in person. You can't see all the details in these photos....like the little beds inside the boxes and the little stairs and windows, etc.
There are too many details to share....and she isn't even finished. The 3 boxes on the left are still 'under construction!'

Here is the 'back' of it.... You can see the little ramp and the little shutters from this angle.



I really like the little boat she made this time around. The little star shaped piece on the right side is the steering wheel....I didn't realize it was supposed to stand up until after I took the photo. Sorry Curly Girl!
She won't be happy that her pets fell down while I was moving it for its photo! Guess I'd better set them up in a hurry!


She and her friend played with it all weekend.

Tissue box 'pet town'

I told you my daughter likes art....but I forgot to mention that she wants to be an architect.

About every 6 weeks, she will ask us to start collecting tissue boxes.
Then, she will go into her room and design a 'town' of some sort. She has done many of these....from bedrooms to malls. Most have sleeping quarters, kitchens, playrooms....the lot.
This one is a modest 'pet town' for her growing stash of pet shop critters. (Although she has the giant sets that come with the critters, she wanted something special for them. )

This one has a daycare, several ladders that go to the next level, a trapdoor in case of a fire or other emergency, a sun deck, a play room and just some 'rooms to hang out in.'

It will last about a week or so and then she'll come home from school and ditch it.

Then we wait until next time.......
