Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
I get PVC pipe at the hardware store for just a couple dollars. They will cut it for you there, but on this day I wasn't quite sure what length I needed. Instead, I used a knife at home (grown-up only step) and it was very easy to do. They need to be just a little longer than the height of the pillowcase.
Step 2
I stuck the pipes into the ground we wanted to "spy" from. They should be the same width apart as the pillowcase is wide.
Step 3
Next, I cut a rectangle out of the pillowcase where the kids' eyes would be.
Step 4
I placed in on the pipes and my little spy began painting. He was way too excited to get too involved in painting at this point.
Final result!
That's my daughter enjoying the spy fort just as much as my two-year-old. They had a blast and it also became a great hide-and-seek spot.
