We had so much fun with a recent activity, I wanted to share. This would be a great project to tuck away for a day when you need something quick and engrossing.
One of my son's birthday gifts last week was a treasure box with a leather journal, compass necklace, wax letter sealing set, colored rocks and jewels and a money making set. The whole thing was a hit, but I think the money making kit was the best.
A variety of wooden disks from the craft store, some sharpie markers and watercolor paint were all we needed to create funds for a new quest.
We had so much fun coming up with designs, numbers, and even a new name for his
currency (they are all "chings"). He invited his siblings to make chings too - so now he has a wide variety and their adventuring play just got a little more interesting!
Oh how amazing! I love the chings! It reminds me a little bit of a phase my oldest went through when he was five and he decided to make Lowe's credit cards out of cardboard...dozens of them with different designs!
ReplyDeleteI am tucking this idea away for a fun future project!
