Pine Straw Bale Fort
Add to Daddio CalendarBefore you spread out your landscape pine straw, let your kids use the bales to build giant block forts. Then offer them allowance money to spread it out for you when the fun is over.
Why it matters:
- Just a reminder to not let opportunities pass by. If you’re doing yard work, have the kids join you. If you’re headed to Home Depot, bring the kids with you. Exercising… you get the idea.
- Imagination & Creativity: The fort becomes a castle, threatened by a water dragon (your cue to spray the hose at them).
- Bonding Time: Any positive time together will strengthen bonds.
- Sunshine: Turn of the TV and get outside!
