They Built Their Own Wigwam Playhouse

My kids are cool. They love playing outside and especially with the nature around us. They make nests out of leaves and twigs, and this week, they build a wigwam with sticks found in the woods and the big piles of fall leaves we've been dumping in the backyard.

They've been setting it up for days and it has occupied hours of their time. Even despite all the leave they are tracking in the yard, their wonderful creation makes me smile. I even fit in it. SO cool...

Only thing they still need is a deerskin floor. Emily told me this. Anyone have an extra deerskin lying around?:)
This is the best!

It's great that the children can use their imagination to get outside and play as so many these days play with buttons on phones and computers. Nice capture

Lovely capture. Agree with Rosie absolutely. 'Play games' using their own imagination is so important in my opinion.

How very cool!!!

That's why my kid misses having his own backyard, although he was just 4 when we left the US. Awesome structure and awesome picture.

What a great sight, to see kids playing and getting creative. I loved doing stuff like this. My brother and I built a "log cabin" in the woods in NC - spent hours working on it. Fond memories. Your kids will have the same with this creation.

Well done chickie winkles! For creation and play - now, are they allowed to sleep in it?
November 28th, 2015  
@maggiemae I don't think it's sleep worthy. A nap perhaps, but eeek, not at night.:) Cute expression...chickie winkles. I like it!
