With Birthdays & Christmas last year, we've come to realize that we have so many large toys (train sets etc), & nowhere for the kids to really sit down & enjoy playing with them. Now the ideal thing would be to buy one of those awesome train tables that you see in the book stores, or for sale at Toys R Us. But who can afford to spend between 200.00 to 400.00 on a train table?!
Not us, that's for sure! So Creag's question was, why not build one?
And that we did!
Creag built the table during the day, downstairs then after dinner we headed down to get to work on painting it.
Sammie & Hank getting started on the background color.
Wyatt & Skylar hard at work!
It's coming along very nicely!
Adding some grass
& other fun stuff!!
It took one day to build it, paint it, & ruin four shirts haha!!
We just used scrap wood from the garage, & leftover paint that we already had.
No out-of-pocket costs....winner!
It turned into a fun project for all of us to do together, made a home for some of the toys, & cleared out some garage space where the extra wood we used was just layin' around.
Pretty good idea if you ask me:)
