Some of the children have expressed interest in trains so we decided to change the castle into a ticket station. We started by cutting off the crenelations along the top and paint the walls red.
I moved a shelf around to block the drawbridge so we needed to cut a new door. Like any old castle it had an inside wall so now it has two doors.
A window was added to sell tickets and a sign was painted.
We were almost ready to open for business.
Inside the station we added a small table and chairs under the window. Cash registers (one is never enough) and an open and closed sign.
A clock and schedule were created and pockets to hold tickets.
Finally we were ready to open for business.
We’ll be back to share how we made our train.
