We just put our house on the market – while prepping for a hopeful move, we decided it was a good time to weed through the collection of videos. What should we do with all the empty cases? My son is going through a building phase. He had a blast creating these towers! Do your kids build with odd household items?
Welcome to Kids Activities!
My name is Holly Homer & I am the Dallas mom of three boys…
I think I will try this as a contest with my older kiddos- Lets see who can build the highest tower.
Oh, how fun! My seven year old has been making card houses lately. I threw away my empty video cases about six months ago. This would’ve been fun for my son. You always share such great activities! You’re on my blog list in the sidebar of my blog.
We used to build with VHS tapes and cases. They are more stable than CDs and DVDs, but we don’t have our VHS collection any more.
Cardboard milk cartons also stack well. You can see a little of what we did with them here:

They look like they’re having so much fun!
JDaniel just builds messes with them.
GREAT idea! I can’t believe they built it so high! =)
Any ideas for what to do with the actual cds if you don’t want them anymore?
