I used chat I had around the house in creative ways for the Barbies, fake flower petals as "fairy" clothing, push pop plastic tube part as umbrellas, cardboard boxes as the doll houses, etc. A lot of creativity and imagination and I was all set! ^_^

[Ina]

i never had the energy, materials, or comfort to get creative with stuff ;v;

[dragoness129]

That's mostly all I had. Hot glue gun and stuff laying around the house.
The kids now a days have all kinds of games and electronic devices.

[Ina]

i mean, kids can still be creative even with devices, it can be a lot cheaper too and take up less space

[dragoness129]

I'm not sure about cheaper, but they could take up less space than a crafting area.

[Ina]

depending on the materials yes, and in the long run it would be much cheaper to just have one device over restocking in materials every month or so

I liked building/ making stuff for the Barbie's etc. or even making big boxes into real people size forts etc.

[Ina]

ahh i love doing that as a kid ;v; we also made stuff for our cat too ;v; it was so much fun

[dragoness129]

All of my stuff was basically "salvaged" items. Things that no one wanted and would have ended up in the trash anyways.

Big cardboard boxes and blanket forts--hours and hours of fun!

[Ina]

dragoness - my sibs and i just repurposed any box we had at home. boxes could do a lot

galled - oh man yeah! i used to have a bunk bed so i would hang blankets off the bars of the top bunk and made mini 'rooms' in my bed :0 it made it seem a lot bigger that way

[dragoness129]

Yep! Boxes are great to make everything with! ^_^

[Ina]

they really do ;o;

[Nemi]

I'm new here too! Are you the same Ina from Caedon? I'm AkaiRingo there. :3

I love bunk beds - making your own space with the blankets is a great hide out, especially when you have to share a room
