Tree House and Trees

 

So excited to share with you the craft that I made for my little one yesterday!  

My husband says, "Yeah, I like it...but WHERE are you going to put it?" Ha, ha, ha, silly man, he should know me better than that by now! It's a bit like a shoe addiction, there is always room to store my creative urges! :P

Sunny has been playing with this like crazy. She is really enjoying the trees the most I think. 

I would eventually like to make a felt floor mat with a river and a small hill on it for inside play, so that her fairies can have their own little fairy land, so to speak. Perhaps a shelf inside and a ladder too.

This was actually really easy to make. The most challenging part was cutting through the thick cardboard (especially those windows!) I had almost everything on hand for this already. The few things that I bought were: the two stands for the trees, the moss, the wooden knobs (painted to look like mushrooms) and the leaves for the trees. I don't think that I spent much more than twenty dollars. The industrial size cardboard tube I found in my mom's garage, so I have no idea where you would get one, perhaps the hardware store? The bark and two branches that I used for the trees, came from our fallen tree earlier this summer. Here is a picture of what I started with...

Hope you like it!
