Hmmmm….
I glanced outside and a massive amount of cut up cardboard box pieces caught my eye.
The debris was scattered all over the deck along with the missing pair of scissors I had been looking for. I walked outside and saw some of the children in the field. One was attaching a cardboard cut-out of a deer to the tree. The other was hammering a stake into the ground with a metal bat. He had duck-taped his cardboard cut-out deer to a stake.
With bows and arrows in hand, these boys proceed to target practice in their own creative way.
Ingredients: A few creative boys, cardboard, tape, scrap wood or sticks, bows and arrows = hours of uninterrupted play.
Okay, now THAT may be THE MOST HILARIOUS thing I have ever heard of or seen EVER!!!! Your kids are the funniest and the best!
That is wonderful and imaginative! Could you please tell me the ages of your boys and if that is a real bow and arrow set? I have a little boy that I think would have a great time with something like that, but I wonder if he is too young. Have you had any accidents with that? ie maybe shooting another child? Mine is a little over 4.
Thanks
My boys that use the bows are 8 and 10 yrs. old. The boy in the picture is 5 yrs old. He tries to shoot it…but the bow is really too big/heavy for him but he likes to shoot it–he just needs help. If we were to find a smaller bow…we would get that for him. The bow is perfect for the older boys—they are very good with it.
It is a real bow and arrow in the sense it isn’t a toy…but it isn’t made to kill animals —it is mainly for target shooting.
The arrows have a dull metal tip on them..
We haven’t had any human “accidents” — When they are shooting..they are very careful.
Your boys are very creative Beth!
