I call it a Looky Lou. Can you guess what children's book inspired me?
Sorry for the glare making it hard for you to play along. I’ll have to take better pics. I came up with the idea last year, but I live on a dead end street. Then my cousin said I could put it at his house. He was helping me glue in the pieces when the concept of it finally clicked for him and he got so excited about what clues you could give to search for and things to put inside. It’s so fun. I went to the Goodwill “bins” and just filled up a box with every little object I could find. The pieces are hot glued in place just in case the box rattles. Maybe in a few months we can change the sign so you have to find new things. I can also remove entire shelves or maybe just pop off the toys. Hot glue comes off easy enough.
I live in Portland and would love to make another and find someone around willing to host it in their yard. So if you’re interested let me know.
It reminds me of those Highlights magazines where they would have a list like this up front, and the pictures of the things were just scattered through the magazine.
