DS-Shower Curtain-Map

What do you do on a rainy day? Well here in Bellingham we have many of them. So I have had to get really creative and do a lot of research in blog land lately. Winters are especially hard because it seems like it rains every day and the skies are grey. So while searching thru blog land I landed on a great site at filthwizardry.com and came across how to make a map out of a dollar store shower curtain. I thought this was a great idea and super cheap. You cant beat when all you have to spend is a dollar and gets you hours of fun. Kbug and I sat one afternoon while it was down pour raining and created our own little town. She wanted to draw her school, a barn, our house, chuck e cheese, and target. Girl has to learn, play and shop :-) She has so much fun putting all the little details on our map. The park had the most detail with monkey bars and a twisty slide. As well as chuck e cheese with an air hockey, ski ball, fish game and basketball hoop. We spent about an hour creating our map. She was pretty much over it by that time so we folded it up and put it away for another rainy day. Needless to say the next day, was a rainy day. We pulled it out and actually played on it. We had so much fun taking the animals to the barn, then to chuck e cheese for some fun and pizza.  It was a great project and super cheap!

What are your creative ways to use something found at the dollar store??
