Look! From Train Table to Dino Mountain

dino-mountain-2.jpgInspired by this train table conversion, Ohdeedoh reader Libby decided to tackle this idea from a different angle:

Jonah was getting bored with his train table, so we decided to transform it. Jonah is getting over trucks, so we needed something that could fit a variety of scenes (dinosaurs, fairies, random Playmobil people adventures). NOTE: the dinosaurs pictured here are not historically accurate. ;)

Too cool! Read on for Libby's tips for creating your own dino mountain...

 
 

dino_mountain-1.jpgItems bought: green grass pad, rubber lake, styrofoam, stick-on grass and shrubs, two trees
Items recycled: various Playmobil pieces, random cardboard tubes, rocks, and dinosaurs

Says Libby: We are having a ball with it! It is really versatile, and even the trains could find a home (if Jonah ends up wanting to play with them again).

Thanks for sharing, Libby!

Great idea, I bet any little boy would love to have a table like that to play on! Too bad you had to BUY stryofoam though...
