Check out this beautiful toy chair made of pegs. It was given to the children by their Granny who had had it for many years. How cute is it?!
M asked to make one so we set about dismantling a load of pegs (15 to be precise) and began the process of copying, gluing and sticking. We used PVA glue to stick the pegs together.
We looked at the front and back of the chair and re-created each section. We made the area to sit on and then attached each section together. I’ve called this post a ‘How to’ but really I’m asking you to do what we did and copy what you see and attempt to put together a chair.
We made this chair over a couple of weeks. We had to let each small part dry before adding on to it or joining the parts together.
So if you’ve got patience and fancy giving this project a go take a good look at the photographs! I’d love to hear about it if you give this project a try 🙂
Maybe next time we will design a table!
This is so Awesome! I love the chair. & Well done to your kid who seem to be well into this kind of thing. Well done you! xx #FabFridayPost

Good idea for the garden. Trying to declutter the house so more things living in the garden is a fab idea!

Yes so much can be done with a few pegs. Maybe a bird feeder next!

Excellent wooden project without much of cutting, sanding involved!
Kids must have enjoyed it, except the waiting part for drying the glued pegs. That too is a part of life lesson, I believe.

Yes, we had to wait for the glue to dry the different sections before moving on! Patience required!
