Historically I have had the most fun with dirt and boxes, but string was my accomplice in what could have been the crowning achievement of my childhood. I took the kitchen twine and wound it decoratively around all of the trees in our backyard -- a lot of trees, we lived right over the Cuyahoga valley -- and then attempted to set it on fire so I could watch the fire zing around the string. Biiiiig trouble.

my childhood was more about testing electric fences and jumping off high things and throwing water at each other

Last weekend, one of my kids' friends brought over a Samsung laptop that he made out of a cardboard box.
