Castles

We have been exploring castles for the last few weeks.
Remember we are building a gingerbread castle with our big buddies?
Today we started to put it together.

The towers are together but we need to give them a bit of time to become firm and not fall apart.  We'll continue on Friday.
In our class room we made a much bigger castle, one that we can play in.

A parent brought in 2 very large boxes and we built the castle around our climber/slide.
We spent a day painting the castle well it took us all morning.

As our queen was going down the slide she announced that we needed a throne.

 

We didn't have a throne handy but we did have a free table and chairs.

Added a royal blue tablecloth and a couple of silver goblets and jewels.

As the days passed we added wall paper (to cover up the print on the boxes).

Some drapery for a whimsical feel and picture frames on the walls.

What is a castle without a magic mirror?

A dragon visited but that is for another day.
