" It's a fairy house!"

Wonderment and awe has been reflected in every child's face who has taken a risk and entered the cardboard box with coloured lights coming through the ceiling . " It's a fairy house" squealed one child "No..... It must be Christmas time" suggested another . 

The children created their own " rules" to reflect the use of the box to ensure that manaakitanga ( care and respect) was shared by all . He pai koe ki te whakaaro 
That’s good thinking ! 

The large cardboard boxes dropped off on a regular basis from a furniture carrier continue to be favourite resources that the children can creatively alter to reflect the interest at the time .
