action man control centre

Action man control centre.

We've managed to accumulate a number of action men (mainly from carboots for a pound) who have been living with tge barbies. Little lady was getting slighty annoyed by the action men's behaviour so a solution was needed!
Action man control centre was dreamt up!

It started life as a trampoline box and floors were added from strong boxes glued into place.

The first floor has a prison made from lolly sticks and cardboard as well as a storage area. 2nd floor is the office level complete with desk and laptop. 3rd floor is the meeting room and finally on the fourth floor is the bedroom with a bunk bed. Everything was made from cardboard boxes and packaging. I found s good website which had printables.http://myfroggystuff.blogspot.co.uk
