I wanted to make some "equipment locker" toy boxes. My Dad is a principal and was on spring break last week and said he would help. I've never worked w/ saws etc. and was excited to get to try them out. I think I might watch to much HGTV. Those carpenters are really fast and make it look really easy. These 2 boxes took us all day.
My Dad had all the tools and supplies (and technical knowledge). I only had to buy hinges and wood putty, so they only cost me about $13.
It was fun hanging out w/ my Dad. He did most of the work and I just handed him stuff (reminded me of my childhood). He even agreed to help me w/ a few more projects this summer so stay tuned.
TADAAA! (after a hard day's work)

I painted them the same way as the rest of the furniture in the room. Then I cut out a stencil w/ my Cricut and wrote "Saints' Property" and "Ravens' Property". You might not be able to see it with my awesome photography skills, but trust me that's what it says. I think I'm going to make cushions for them so they'll be like a window seat. I need to come up w/ some sort of window treatment too.
I guess I haven't said it yet, but my Dad rocks!
Check out what else I've done to my house here.

Toys that support children's learning should be considered by parents of one-year-olds. Learning may take many different forms and is not simply confined to one or two topics. According to the information and specifics on the bespoke Custom toy boxes, purchase toys for your children. Customers will then be aware of how to use the toys to teach their children new skills. Some of the top toys for this use are listed below:

This toy is very popular among local kids because it is so entertaining. It is a board with a computer-like shape that is covered in soft rubbers. The colours and shapes of the rubbers vary. Kids who repeatedly press their fingers may develop stronger fingers.
