The puppet box

“Have you blogged about the puppet box yet, mom?”

Oops. Things got busy and I forgot to post a picture of the puppet box my son painted this weekend.

He’s got about 20 puppets now, 8 people puppets and a dozen or more animals of the domestic, zoo, and farm varieties. Up till now they’ve been living in a cardboard box in his bedroom.

So when I saw large canvas bins on sale at Zellers (that’s like a Canadian version of Target, for my American readers), I picked one up in hopes all the puppets would fit.

I ALWAYS have a good supply of paints on hand, fabric paint, acrylic paint and tempura paint all live in my house in abundance, so I dragged out some primary colors of fabric paint and set David working on personalizing his puppet box.

He did a fantastic job, if I do say so myself.

And he’s happy he gets to have another personalized item in his room for his toys. He’s shown it to every visitor we’ve had since it’s been done, and he’s been after me to show it on my blog too.

See, kiddo!? I’ve done it. I’ve blogged about your puppet box.
