🌟 Building a Plexiglass Easel: Our New Outdoor Play Space Addition! 🌟

Adding a plexiglass easel to our backyard has been a magical addition for our kids! For the full process, check out my blog post. Here’s how we did it:

Materials:
• Plexiglass sheet
• Pressure-treated 2x4s and 2x6
• Carriage bolts, washers, and nuts
• Wood screws

Tips:
• Material Choice: Opted for pressure-treated 2x4s for durability and stability.
• Construction Technique: Pinched the plexiglass between two 2x4s for a secure fit.
• Adjustability: Ensured components can be repositioned for growing kids.

Steps:
1. Cut 6 pieces of 2x4 (4ft each) for sides, top, and bottom.
2. Groove the top piece to fit the plexiglass snugly.
3. Assemble the frame, sandwiching the plexiglass between the side pieces.
4. Pre-drill holes to avoid cracking and secure with bolts.
5. Add a middle shelf for paint cups and art supplies, and attach feet for stability.

Benefits:
• Supports Montessori and Waldorf Philosophies: Encourages independence and hands-on learning.
• Sensory and Creative Play: Perfect for painting, drawing, and attaching gears with suction cups.
• Vertical Surface: Enhances fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and creativity.

This project took about 2 hours and has been a fantastic addition to our backyard. The kids love it, and it’s built to last!
