Make Your Own Faraway Tree

Have you read Enid Blyton's The Enchanted Wood? I haven't, but that's about to change now that I've seen this homemade Faraway Tree from ikat bag. Despite the fact that it's just made of cardboard, it's so detailed - there's the Slippery Slip, a slide that goes from the top of the tree to the bottom and a laundry basket rigged to be cranked to the top of the tree. Lier shows you how she made the pieces so you can make one for your kiddos. The construction is easy enough that you could use it for all kinds of fun literary interpretations. Let us know if you do!
