Last week we finished all the structures that we were making for "Our Neighborhood". We took them in on the living room floor and arranged them in their basic direction from our house. In this first picture you can locate our house (bottom) and get the idea of the main street going past the stables, doctor's office, gas station, and bank.
This picture gives a better view of the gas station and shows the library. We made the grocery store, but it is in the other direction and isn't in these pictures.
K. enjoyed getting out her cars and people and playing. The buildings are made from half gallon juice or milk cartons. I covered them with butcher paper and K. used markers to draw on the windows and doors. Most of the buildings are open on the top so she can put people "in" the building. For the stables we made fences from tongue depressors, stuck them (and glued) into a round styrofoam, and found pictures of horses and glued them on the fences.
