12th Jan – Table cubby house.

I’ve been wanting to make a table cubby house for the boys for a while now. Basically it’s the same concept as your basic sheet thrown over a table to make a cubby house….. but sewn, and slightly more fancy.

Sal’s Mum (Nanna) is a great sewer, and agreed to help out :)

We made this cubby house. It’s not quite finished. It still needs windows and a few finishing touches….tn_IMG_8148

Ben and Ethan are very interested in Fireman Sam at the moment. We initially wanted to make this cubby house resemble a fire station. Apparently material with fire trucks on is is quite hard to find!….. The above design is what we came up with. The red and white striped bit is the door. It’s supposed to resemble a roller door of the fire station.

We initially planned to decorate it more with fire trucks, ladders, hoses and stuff, but in the first few days after we made it, the boys used their imagination and it became a circus tent, pirate ship and mechanic’s work shop. We have now decided less is more….. we will add some windows, but this way, it can be whatever their games and their ever blooming imagination need it to be.
