Workboxes have just felt great for us as a family. The kids enjoy it, I enjoy it and even my dh has gotten in on the action. We will definately go on with them next year.
But it is summer and I have these workboxes in my kitchen/dining area. What to do? Use them of course!
Throughout the day I am sure you have heard your kids say "I'm bored!" My answer is "go grab a box!" Now I won't use the strips, or make them go in order, it will just be a fun area to see some activites they can do throughout the day. Maybe a can of playdoh, or a dot-to-dot. Simple activites that they can do on their own.
I will most likely rotate them out just as I would during the year to provide some interesting and fun things to do.
So have fun with your workboxes today!
Kristina, I'm glad to know the boxes are still working for you. I'm not doing anything with mine right now (since it's summer), but I'm still trying to decide if I can come up with enough space to switch to the plastic boxes. I think I'll want to switch once I finish the book.
