Farm play sets

Along with the construction site below, we also created a farm set for Parker.  Like the construction site, it is just a piece of plywood with 2x4's for the sides, then we used mainly dollar store stuff and toys we had on hand to create the rest of it.  Parker was very into John Deere when he was younger, so we have quite a collection.  He likes to plow the fields and take care of the animals.  Also pictured below is a farm play set mat, which ABBY made.  It has fields, a stream a pond, and more.  I couldn't find all the pieces for it right now, but again, we looked for cheap clearance finds, took apart plants to harvest, and animals from the dollar store.



We used PVC pipe for the silos, and Lincoln logs for the animal pens:
And here, we used a peg board and poked zip ties up through the holes from the bottom:

This was all in much better shape a few years ago.  We bought real dried corn and real hay for him to play with on it, and 2 years later after a lot of play, it is showing it's age!
