In the Mulberry Tree

This weekend the boys have been making a little cubby in their Aunts garden.
She pruned a little door into the side of a weeping Mulberry tree.
Then we spread some wood chips to make a floor and added some "wooden furniture"
Such a cozy little spot just right for little people.
What out door play have your kids been doing this week? “Come over and play at the Childhood 101We Play link up”

  2. What a fabulous hideaway. We had a similar tree near our holiday house when we were growing up. I have so many happy memories of playing in the cubby with my cousins.

  5. I love mulberry trees! We have an old weeping cherry that we use as a treehouse too. I love the little opening pruned in to the side - very inviting.

  6. How awesome is that cubby house. What a special aunt to actually prune a kids sized doorway for her newphews! We had a mulberry tree when we were growing up - delicious! Never heard of a weeping mulberry before.

  9. This makes me miss the weeping mulberry tree we had in our old house - I wish we could have taken it with us. The boys would have loved a cubby like this one.

  10. This reminded me of my childhood days when I would hide away from my sisters just to give them a hard time...
