Papercraft and block mini skatepark

48 Comment

This is a project that has three phases. Firstly making your background, then building your park and finally…playing in your park. Great for preschoolers who still enjoy knocking blocks all over the place.

Material

Tub blocks or foam squares
1 Pre-made collage background
1+ Finger skateboards or cars

Method

Make a collage background. We wanted to do a more industrial theme but my girls decided to colour things in pink and orange.
In front of your collage background take a tub of blocks and set up an obstacle style course with ramps and steps.
If you have other items such as little plastic bins, cardboard box buildings or bottle caps you can add those too. We also use hot wheels cars.

This is a far better and simpler way than paper mache. The one picturedc above can also easily be dismantled if necessary.

This is awesome and so cool. I’m so not crafty minded, but can totally appreciate how clever this is.

Fascinating play thing – and gets them off the technical games.

This reminds me of my own 3 boys years ago that had a trolley of wooden blocks & they all would spend hours setting up their imaginary play parks. These simple blocks are now an added attraction for my grandkids to enjoy! A great way to see kiddies entertain themselves.

  Yes! And a good chunk of our blocks are just Jenga games. When Jenga is on special its cheaper than blocks AND you can play Jenga!

My kids had a similar school holiday project one time. Only they made a whole park out of bits and pieces. Swings, see saw, trees, slide, skate dome etc. It turned out really well
