I think the idea just died a death yesterday unfortunatly... My kids like making stuff (dont they all) and one in particular is very arty and he does that more than anyhting.. he fills the bedroom up with stuff he makes.... But he runs out of ideas.
To encourage this activity I thought a train set..any old thing... on a table and he could then make all the building and scenery himself.. would take ages.. give him some incentive and a reason to make stuff...
However Julie had us changing the rooms around this week (thats why she has been so busy and ya havent seen her at games) and the upshot is there isnt room as from yesterday for a static train set... pool table, football table, pinball machine...all take up the room
Oh well back to drawing board.
But thanks for the thought accymad..much appreciated
