As mentioned earlier, my kids were inspired to take some toys outside and play make-believe among the weeds. Their favorite outdoor friends were their Melissa and Doug horses. Unfortunately, they were easily lost among the late growing winter grasses before mowing season, thus when mowing season had begun... a little horse was mangled to its destruction. Callie, realized that something had to be done to protect her dear horses from the evil monster lawn mower. She build this incredibly detailed structure out of rocks and twig scaffolding, with a grass roof similar to the Little House dugout in Plum Creek. Now her horses have a safe dwelling away from the mower.
Note: When children have REAL motivation... they build and create AMAZING things. Had I said, "Callie, go build a house" she would have made a dinky pathetic little thing... for my approval.
