Perfect idea for a rainy day. Take a deck of cards that's a few cards short and make your own toy theatre. I had some playing cards lying around the studio. Literally -- I think my children left them out. Voila -- instant King and Queen! Cut out the characters you want; tape on some extra bits (a skirt, a cape, a bigger crown); attach a rod -- chopsticks are great for this. Then find some cardboard to make your own castle tower (I always wanted to live in a tower).

You can add bits and pieces to your characters using scrap materials. |

Our valiant King will allow no harm to befall his Queen! |

Or is it his Queen? (He might be on the lookout for the King of Clubs...) |
