When Brett built the kids fort, the plan was to build in the area under the slide as a cubby house. But after speaking to other cubby owners, who kept telling me their cubbies were full of spiders and the kids don’t play in them, we decided not to. So we thought maybe we’d build a sandpit underneath. But we have neighbours cats that visit our garden, and I know the sandpit wouldn’t end up being covered and would end up with cat poop in it (and that was before we even owned a kitten). Then one day a few weeks ago, the idea came to me to hang sheets up and make a sort of tent/cubby. We just quickly nailed some calico into the top and tied it back on the two open sides with strips of ripped fabric (literally ‘quickly!’, we did it in less than 5 mins) and the kids LOVED it. I’m planning on just attaching some elastic curtain wire on hooks, then I can just sew a channel to  thread that through to hang them – or any other old sheets etc, and they’ll be easy to take down if needed. Kiddies happy… Mummy happy.
