make my week #37 - pioneer wagon

as soon as i saw this collection of 'pioneer crafts' over at The Crafty Crow, i knew Jada would be IN!




we pimped ours out a bit so that it would withstand a bit of playtime...

-instead of a paper cover we used calico with gathered ends (it can be loosened at the other end so that Jada can put her Sylvanian animals inside)
- we paper-mached the box we used to make it stronger
- instead of using cardboard strips for the supports, we used plastic from a yoghurt container.
- and because he is a rockstar, JR made some extra sturdy wheels from wood ;)

apparently Jada is planning to have her Slyvanians "go to town" tomorrow to "buy a wagon" ~ too cute.

  2. Oh SQUEAL!!!! I am so making one of these for my children!
    My eldest loves everything little house on the prairie and all three are Sylvanian crazy (hence a whole suitcase being taken over by Sylvanians for our trip back to OZ).
