Props to my husband for this one...
I found this beaten up kids craftsman bench and all the tools for $2 at a garage sale. I'm not sure what the kids who played with this toy before us did with it but let's just say it seemed to be drenched in maple syrup and motor oil. After meticulously washing every piece with dawn dish soap and vinegar I asked my husband to make a new base for it since the old cheap plastic one was completely cracked in half. He took our old fence posts and some plywood we had laying around and voila...
A new favorite outdoor activity to keep his attention if only for a 15 minute window.
The cups on the side were an ikea purchase from April. They were intended for garage storage but got a new found purpose here.
Oh, and let's not forget about the adorable tool box daddy also made-(which was originally a 6 pack beer prototype that Tristan sorta took as his own)
He's a working man now. My next project... Make this kid a tool belt.
