Building a City

This was actually my son's idea so I can't take credit.  It turned out to be great one.  Everyone brought their own cardboard box(es) already put together how they wanted.  Once at my house we decided what would go where and then we went to work painting with tempera paints.
Our city had:
a parking garage, an art museum, a science museum, a candy factory, another factory, a police station, a hospital, a fire station,a grocery store, Twins stadium, another stadium (with a collapsed roof in honor of the Twin Cities metrodome), a school, the Foshay tower, and buildings that could be offices or apartments.

My youngest had a blast driving his toy cars around and through our city. :)
