If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ll know that I love creating play spaces for my kids out of everyday objects.  Their kitchen was made out of an old entertainment unit – it’s not a really flash one like some of the ones you see out there, but my kids love it and that’s all that matters to me.

A race car is born

Our latest endeavour involved a bed frame left behind by my brother-in-law when he moved out, various sized tyres, two car seats, and the plastic wheel rim from a balance bike.

Whilst they both did up their imaginary seat belts, there was no safety consideration for Miss 2′s baby. Tsk tsk.

I’m the driver because I’ve got the helmet

The fun really began once they took their car out for a spin.  Drifting, skids and some fancy footwork came into play by Master 4 as he raced the car over some very interesting terrain. Then his co-driver decided to be an argumentative little so-and-so.  They’re like a little old married couple…

The best part of this car is that  when you get tired of driving you can just pass the steering wheel over to your co-driver.

For our next project, Master 4 has visions of a submarine made out of the motorcycle packing crate in the garage. Stay tuned for that one.

Have you created a great play space for your kids? I’d love you to comment on what you’ve done, or link up if you’ve blogged about it.
