One More Thing: A Swing!

There was one more cute addition to our large “book tree,” and all the credit for the concept/design/execution was all Mary: a stuffed animal swing! No. It is not a swing made of stuffed animals (which admittedly, would be pretty awesome), but a cute little swing made for stuffed animals to use.
Mary took a discarded book, cut down the hardcover, paint that partial cover to look like wood. Then she drilled four holes and attached twine, and hung it securely on a wooden beam. She finally added a cute sign that explained what the swing was for, but also to help keep taller kids and parents from hitting their head on the swing.

Naturally I bonk my head on the swing every time. I have mad skillz.” src=”http://hafuboti.wpcomstaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/swing4.jpg?w=584″ alt=”” width=”584″ height=”778″>
The swing went up last week, and so far we’ve had a handful of kids who have absolutely loved it and come in multiple times so that more of their toys would get a chance to swing. Here are a few examples:

(Sorry that I had to cut out the cute kids that were standing next to or below the swing – respecting privacy and all. Well, privacy for the humans. No privacy for the stuffed and cuddly.)
