Fire fighter playing - Recycling

My son loves to play pretend as a firefighter!

When he is playing he always wants me to join him (maybe he needs a sibling  = ) ). However, as you know, life is busy and especially this day I had a pile of dishes to wash and dinner to make.
So, I invited him to help me build a tall building.
We, then, put the building on fire! And the fun began...
Sirens sounds, fire engines, fire hoses, hard helmet, ladder, people asking for help, help!!!

Just a grocery bag, some markers and a lot of creativity!

I finally entertained him and while he was "saving lives" I could do my chores.

His cow was also part of the scene... He rescued her from inside the building.
So lovely...

Tip: to make the bag sturdy you can tape a cooking stick on both sides from the inside.

Enjoy the playing time!

Bird Mobile

I made this cute bird mobile for my son's room.

I draw a bird template and cut an old calendar using different sizes of birds.
I hang them with a thread and used invisible tape to attach the birds.

I used a piece of bamboo (leftover from the Fishing Game - http://casadacamila-decor.blogspot.com/2012/05/fishing-game-for-kids.html) but you can use any stick that you may find in your backyard.
I used a nail to fix it into the ceiling...

 ... and it brought some "nature" inside our home!
