I used to keep a “craft box,” wherein we stored all the odd bits of interesting things that seemed as though they could be used to build things.
Straws, an empty egg carton, toilet paper tubes, a salt box or baking powder container, empty match boxes, an old magazine, thrift store glitter, etc.
With a bit of paint and glue, we could do wonders with this. Another grand forgotten tradition that ought be reinstituted.

Great post! Very creative, and he’ll remember the “camping teapot” forever, I’m sure! When my son asks me to play with him, I feel guilty that I wasn’t the initiator, like if he has to remind me to play, I’m focusing too much on the household instead of the reason I’m home in the first place! I posted recently about SAHM’s needing to remember to schedule quality time with their kiddos.
