How To *Put A Superhero To Work*

April 30, 2013 by Anjana @ At The Corner Of Happy And Harried 41 Comments

What do mothers do when left alone with Superheroes?

Put them to work, of course!!!

In the bathroom,

Putting Ironman to Work

Holding accessories,

Putting Ironman to Work 2

Holding bedtime books on the chair-turned-nightstand,

Putting Ironman to Work 3

Putting Ironman to Work 4

Now, let me put Iron Man back on the toy shelf, before Boy gets home from school. You won’t tell him, right?!! 😉

I staged these photos just for fun, but now when I think about it, it could totally work as a fun and quirky decor idea. Grab some superhero toys and prop them around the house. Your very own superhero personal assistants!

You are bound to smile every time you see them, don’t you think so?!!

I am linking this up to parties at these awesome blogs.

      Thank you! My little guy didn’t like Iron Man holding towels and bracelets. He didn’t mind him on his nightstand though!

    I really love the idea of Iron Man in the bathroom as a face cloth holder. You could get another related toy and drill holes in it to hold tooth brushes (saw this on pinterest with a dinosaur!) This is so cute! I’m glad you got some playtime in!

      That is a great idea. I guess bat-mobile would make a great toothbrush holder. But I’d have to buy two, so that little guy doesn’t object!
      I never got what was so great about action figures and cars, till I had a boy of my own. Now, I am the one playing with them!!

    Oh my goodness my little bear would love it if he came home and his super heroes were working around the house! I’m going to stage a few them right now! I love Iron Man in the bathroom!
