Saturday, Jameson and I got creative while Ella was napping. I saw an idea on someone’s blog about using a shower curtain to create a floor map for your kids. So, when I was out shopping a few weeks ago, I picked one up and have had it ready for a day when we needed it. The great idea about a shower curtain is that if it gets ruined, no big deal… it was $2. Plus, Jameson had a car mat and never played with it. So, we busted out the shower curtain on Saturday. We started with a park in the middle, and went from there…

I taped sharpie markers to each side of a box, and used that to make even roads. Jameson decided what buildings we needed, including a race track, police station, and a beach.

He played with it the rest of the afternoon. We made houses for all his friends, and parked the planes at the airport. Another plus, each time we get it out, we can add details. Like the other day when he asked if we had a post office on our map. Oops, forgot that one. No worries, next time we get it out, we will add the post office. Now, I’m on the look out for when shower curtains go on sale. Maybe next time we’ll draw a castle and the kingdom. Who knows… endless possibilities.
