Who knew Styrofoam packaging from a ceiling fan could provide such entertainment to two little boys?
Add some tools (real tools!) to some good old Styrofoam and let the boys have a blast destructing it.
Or is that all they’re doing?
At one point Henry was scooping soup Styrofoam pieces and at another time he was shaking it up, making popcorn with it! Oh, the imagination on that kid!
It was a great distraction to have the boys play with while Dad and I worked on George’s new room (which is now done, yay!).
And something that might be even more fun that destructing a piece of foam?
Cleaning up all the pieces!
Are your kids as easily entertained
with destructing something as mine are?

Oh, this is perfect! We have styrofoam chunks left over from Christmas presents and she just got a new tool set. Thanks for the great idea!

My son LOVES destroying styrofoam. I haven’t let my baby get in on the action yet- he’s still at the putting everything in his mouth stage.

My son would love this. We would have to do it outdoors!

Great idea, Jamie! I just cleaned the garage the other day, and added a bunch of styrofoam packaging from various purchases in a pile to take to the dump. I think I’ll fish those out now. :)
