Castle On A Hill


After we replaced the carpet in the back bedroom with laminate flooring, I took advantage of the cleared floor space to make a big castle on a hill. I thought about making an escape tunnel with Duplo tubes through the inside of the hill and out the bottom. With that cool of an idea, I just had to get started.

It was interesting trying to build the framework for the hill, making sure to allow for the tubes through the inside. Another design consideration was to make the hill sides very steep so that the kids could play around it easily.

In the end I ran out of Green bricks, and used some other colors on the hill. When I made the Stegosaurus later on, and ran out of green again, I bought some more bricks. I obviously needed more bricks. . . . . . . right??
