Kids learn so much through play!
They can walk a few miles and build a few muscles, too.
This project has been driven by our two lads over the past 2 months; chopping (small) timber, hauling same timber, playing with designs and finally enlisting Dad’s help for some of the tricky stuff. There’s still much to be done, apparently… but the boys are onto that!
Does this mean they can take their messy bedroom down the paddock, too?
Awesome! Every kid’s dream. Love the pictures and the way you laid out the experience. Like a book!

I really want to play in that tree house. Looks like so much fun. Would have loved that when I was a kid.

Photos and stories like this are exactly why I dreamed of living in Australia when I was a boy.

You don’t have to be a boy to dream of living in Australia. Hope it still has some appeal. 🙂

It still does, although I’m pretty sure I have a skewed vision of what it’s really like.
In 3rd grade I wanted to live on a cattle ranch with a steel roof and a ride a kangaroo. That’ll work, right?

Hahaha… Just slightly skewed. Though we do have a tin roof – and a mob of kangaroos in the home paddock. Must post some pics…

My kids wouldn’t know where to start… neither would my hubby!!!

Sometimes their ideas are grander than their execution – but mostly they have fun and learn through their play.

Haha Shem – I’m not convinced that any ‘Drop Bear’ you encountered wasn’t your own mop of curly hair. 🙂
