Tangled Tower

The parents went through a phase for a while donating giant boxes to our classroom so I painted a lot of Holiday boxes (a "spooky box, chimney, snow box, etc..). Our Rapunzel tower is hands down the munchkins favorite, and oddly enough the only one that is still standing ;p
This was actually an old freezer/refrigerator box and has been one of the best donations we've received. It had to be cut down the side, so the first thing I did was hot glue the box back together again. I painted it using basic washable tempera paint, gray for a base coat, black to define the "stones", green and pink for the vines, and brown for the windows! I cut out and adult size tower window on one side (basically because I am a giant child who likes to play in it too), two child sized windows, and a "secret door" behind a painted tree in the back.
We only let 2-3 kids play in it at a time so it doesn't get to crazy, and we keep it right next to the basket filled with all our donated princess dresses, shoes, and tiaras :) If you know anyone who is getting a fridge (or any other large item) in the future, have them save you the box!!

Go Green :D
