Summer Challenge

So my little creative Brynlee love's trying to figure out new things to make with a cereal box. She has made a guitar out of a cereal box and just the other day she was munchin on some Apple Jacks and said "Mom, I think I'll finish these and then make a backpack out of the box." Sure enough not a half hour later she had her duck tape, some scissors, the cereal box and her little creative mind at work. She made the two straps and a hook/handle for her backpack. She then declared she was finished. Well the next morning she decided it needed a little something, so before school she took her pink and purple duck tape and proceeded to cover the whole backpack with duck tape, alternating the colors. Then she asks me if I thought kids would make fun of her if she wore it for her backpack. I told her I didn't know. So she took the plunge and wore it to school that day. We picked up her friends to take them to school and one of them jumped in the car and said "cool backpack Bryn." She got to school and the rest of the kids loved it including the teacher. Within two days one of the boys in her class showed up with his own cereal backpack with a single side strap. Pretty Cool!!! She amazes me with her creativity. Maybe she was meant to be my sisters kid. :0) To bad I won't give her up!!!!!
O. K. so here's the challenge, Dave suggested to Brynlee the other day that she ought to try and write a "book" and call it "101 Ways To Use A Cereal Box" she has the first two, anyone want to throw in some ideas? Just send them our way and I'm sure Bryn will LOVE to try them out!!!!! (P.S. My camera is on the fritz so as soon as it starts working again, I'll post some pics!!)
