My Life In...

Car - Train - Lego table

2009-09-26T19:02:00.002-05:00

Using an old table top, some construction paper, a few stickers and poly we made this fun spot to play with cars, trains, Lego's or whatever the kids want. Each little property has a map that shows where it is (Hawaii, New York...) along with an image of something that the state is known for (volcanoes, Statue of Liberty...)

Bolster Swing

2009-09-26T16:57:00.002-05:00

This bolster swing is made by taking 2 - 2x4's of your desired length and screwing together (or using a 4x4). Wraping the boards in padding (even old towels or sheets can be used) and then wrapping it all in fabric. You would need to add a hook to each end and then add the rope. Because your hooks in the ceiling are in the joists/beams they can easily hold the weight of an adult.

Hanging Swings Inside

2009-09-04T19:33:00.004-05:00

These can be found at home improvement stores (to attach straps to a trailer)...make sure they can hold a weight that is acceptable for the swing/platform you are hanging plus your child (and/or yourself!)...these MUST be attached to a beam/joist in your ceiling!

Chalk/Magnet Boards

2009-09-04T19:29:00.004-05:00

Make chalk and magnet boards anywhere you want with chalk paint and magnetic paint (found at home improvement stores). The magnetic paint often requires 4+ coats to make it strong enough to hold magnets.

Chalk holder is an organizer from IKEA.
