Toddler Box Library

Toddler Box Library

Today we found the most awesome box left out for the bin men so we picked it up and took it home to unleash our imagination upon.

Who doesn’t love a box? And this box is going to be the focus of this week’s toddler play and will be transformed into many things.

Our first transformation was a library den. Here’s how we did it.

I started by cutting out some windows and a door on the side of the box.

The kids then helped to paint it with some matt emulsion we had in the shed.

I then cut out some window frames which we stuck on with a glue stick.

I used some wire battery operated fairy lights from the pound shop which I stuck to the roof with masking tape (because I didn’t have any sticky tape).

Noah got to work making some books for our library shelves, and a sign for the outside.

Finally, we filled it with a blanket, some cushions and books, and climbed inside…

Yesterday Andy finished everything needed to make the bats comfortable. 
We have oodles of bats flying around the churchyard but after a few seasons of bat surveys it was established we don’t actually have bats with if the church 👌 this is pleasing for us as it means that we get the enjoyment of watch them on a summers evening with the knowledge that there are none in residence. 
Although it was established we don’t have resident bats, roosts or nurseries we still had to do what we could to accomplish them should they wish to take up residence in the church. 
As part of this process we have...
🦇Turned a dilapidated underground furnace room into a bat cave with entrance points, wall hangers and crevices.
🦇 Built a substantial ‘Battic’ in the ceiling in the vestry...a false ceiling was installed for this.
🦇 The children moulded and helped install bat tiles for the roof using a mallet and sheet lead method. 
🦇 Raised the ridge tiles on the vestry roof as entrance points to the ‘Battic’. 

For a building that doesn’t have any resident bats they sure will be comfy should they move in. 

🦇 Bats are a protected species and obtaining bat licenses to permit you to build without endangering them, destroying or disturbing existing or potential habitat in the U.K. is an extremely important (and lengthily) process.
