Dolls House Playground


بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of Allah the most gracious the most merciful.

As part of our planning for a wooden dolls house, Saffiyah decided she would like to add a playground, so we had a look online for examples to get ideas from and we came across this blog:


Saffiyah quite liked the look of this one and so we drew up a list of what she would like in the playground.  After looking at Saffiyah’s extensive list we narrowed it down to items we thought we could actually fit onto the playground as living in a small house means very little space for new creations.

I took a piece of mdf that was left over from cutting the sides of the dolls house and all the bits and pieces we had from the recycling and craft cupboard and left Saffiyah in charge.  Here are some photos of the process including her initial list of equipment:









 









The finished piece is modelled by some very small pocket dolls that Saffiyah insisted needed to try out the newly created playground just as soon as it had dried:

We managed to create a slide, a swing, two throwing balls, a skipping rope, a sandpit and digger and a tunnel, not bad for the little space that we had and I’m pretty pleased with how Saffiyah arranged the equipment to fit in the playground.

The dolls house project is on hold at the moment as we have started our chicken lapbook and Saffiyah has a long list of subjects she would like to cover before the dolls house can be completed.
