Children's Toys and Keepsakes

If built well many toys you give your children can actually last long enough to be passed down from one generation to the next.  That is the goal I keep in mind with every project I build, I want your kids to hand it to their kids one day.

This was a rocking horse I made for my nephew when he was very little, it was actually usable at the time as you can see below but now makes a great keepsake for him to pass down to his kids one day.

Giddy Up AJ!

This was a large castle I built for my son to play with his action figures. It is large enough for him to sit inside it and use the interior at the same time.

The picture on the right is it under construction, it all got a coat of paint when finished.

This is a barbie scale doll house I constructed for my daughter at the same time I was doing the castle above for my son. She loves it and after 3 years it is still is strong and intact.

The interior even got a pass through window between the kitchen and livingroom, a working front door and a built in bath tub upsatairs.  Can you see the smile of relief on my face when I was finished!
