Don't throw it away...it has so much potential!

About three weeks ago, my curriculum director brought me this GREAT cardboard package because, she said, "Danna will be able to find something to do with it." I looked at it for a day or two in the classroom and then brought it home. It has been in my kitchen for a few weeks now until I finally put it away. When I look at it, I see so much potential. Its not quite a box but it is large. It has two large flaps and two small flaps. There are lots of things it could become but I just haven't quite hit on what that will be. It could be a big canvas for the children to paint. It could be made into a large felt story board that we could close up and put away when it is not being used. Maybe I could paint it with chalkboard paint and let the children draw whatever they want on it, erase it all and start again. With Christmas coming up, I have pondered making some sort of stable out of it, but I am not quite sure what we would use for the manger scene. Maybe dolls and stuffed animals? Maybe I will bring it back to the classroom and see what great ideas we come up with as a group. As I think about it, it doesn't even have to be just one thing. I still am not quite sure but I know it has too much potential to just throw it away. Ideas? I'll let you know when I figure it out!
