toy boxes

Between me and my new husband we have 5 grandbabies.  There parents wanted my husband to build them a toy box for Christamas.  They figured he builds houses for a living he could make a toy box for them. 

So we talked about it and figured.  Hey kewl idea plus this just might save a little money with having 5 grandbabies.  lol 

So We bought the plywood and he got started.  He built the frame of the box and this is what it looked like.  We needed some paint. 

 

Each one of my grandbabies are into something a little different so we figured we would personalize ea. one with what they really like.   For the boys we painted the tops black and the rest of the box black. 



Here is my grandson Jorden's  He LOVES Teenage Ninja Turtle




Then My oldest Grandson LOVES superhero's  So this is what we did for him.





 
Now for the girls we decided we would paint the tops black and the box white.  My oldest grandaughter LOVES repunzel and says she is a princess.  So this is her's 



 so we decided with my husband's grandaughter to do Fairies, that she loves so much. He wanted to frame this one out to bring it out a little. 


Now for my youngest grandaughter.   She LOVES Minnie Mouse.  We done that the same way, we framed this one out just like the one above.  I drew out the minnie mouse with pencil, then started outlining & painted the background and minnie in.



so it is starting to come together.  Now for the name.  She wanted the minnie dress to be zebra and glitter in her name. 
 



Now for all of them completely finished.  here they are! 





We finally got them all finished 3 days before Christmas and they LOVE them!
