Bubble Tent: A cool place to read


We have done this in previous summers and it is one of Lil B’s favorites! As soon as he saw the box fan coming out of the closet, he got excited. I knew we had to incorporate this activity into our Hand Made Summer Fun series. This is great for a rainy afternoon or if it is too hot to play outside. We love to throw a bunch of pillows inside and cozy up to read our favorite books.

      I would have liked it to as a kid too…I even like it as an adult! It is big enough I can read with them! 🙂
