DIY Kids Play Make A Menagerie

January 13, 2016

diy kids play menagerie free plans
Today is the last Paris Party Playstand and we have the menagerie.  If you’re just joining in, on Monday I shared the diy kids patisserie playstand and Wednesday was the boutique.  My fellow blog friend Stefanie at Brooklyn Limestone put together the most beautiful Paris themed birthday party for her daughter and I built the playstands:

    Perfect! This is exactly what I have been looking for. My son needs somewhere to put his toys and spaces for his bigger construction trucks, lamp and pictures. Thank you for the plans!
