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.
Materials:
Light Weight Duvet Cover (King Size works great)
Box Fan
Tutorial:
Step 1:Â Plug in fan and turn on.
Step 2: Place fan in the duvet opening and let it blow up the “bubble tent”.
Step 3: Play, read or take a nap in a nice cool spot!

Such a cozy place for keeping cool! I would have loved reading in there when I was a kid!
Jamie Hand says
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! 🙂
