Have you ever built a house or a hiding place out of newspaper? If not, you should try it out! A fast-to-use action that keeps children busy for a long time. Here are some help.
You need daily newspapers and Tesafilm, then you can start already.
Think first of all about where you want to build your cave: e.g. under the living room table, under the desk or dining table, with chairs and benches? It should be a place where you can also hide.
First carefully fold the paper apart so that you get large single sheets. Place them completely folded on the floor.
Then carefully take a single leaf up and carry it where your cave is to be built.
For example, place the newspaper sheet over the table, chair or bench so that it reaches to the ground. It should not be longer, as it will tear in quickly. Fix the sheet with a few tesa film strips on the table, chair or bench.
Place so many newspaper sheets until your cave is closed. Leave some space on one side so that you can crawl into the cave as well.
The cave is ready!
Caution is required, as the cave is not as stable as when built with blankets, but that is the special thing about it and requires a lot of mindfulness when playing.
Try it out! It's a great experience for the kids and it's fun to create something with newspaper.
