Castle Project
Cool! Great Idea!I wish I had the internet back when I was young!
NOT!
well, you know what I mean That's nice tho, should do well
I am so proud of you, Kheldarn!! You managed to 'only solve problems and make suggestions'! Most of the fathers I know would have completely taken over the project and created 'the castle to beat all other castles' - ROAR! Leaving the poor child with nothing personal to show for it.
The Child™ can honestly claim full responsibility for her creation - That's Super!
Be Well!

Nice! And no one can claim the castle, cause it has a flag.
Nice Job!
I was really expecting some invading armies and/or dragon hordes to have to kill with a trebuchet or catapult. But then I spend a lot of time on addictinggames.com...>_>

Ooooh, shiny! That's seriously cool stuff there!

That should be a shoe-in for best castle! I hope the Spouse Component emptied the construction elements before the Filial Device taped them up. Great job though, it looks indesctructible.

What a kool titanium coated castle! No intruder will be able to intrude when the castle has its mouth closed!
The Family project gets an "A" for helping The Child with her project.

On Monday, after school, The Child came to me with some empty toilet paper tubes in her hand, told me that she had to make a castle for school, and asked if I had any boxes she could use.
Being the wise Father I am, I told her to wait for her Mother to come home from work, and ask her, since she should have plenty of boxes that weren't being used to hold junk.
We gave her some empty boxes and a roll of duct tape.
Yesterday, after her chores, she went to town making her castle. She got everything done, except for the four towers she wanted to put on it. She'd wrapped four tp tubes in duct tape, and needed to stick them on. She wanted to put some cones on the top of them, to make them like the towers in her sketch:
The Wife attempted to help her with making those, but they couldn't come up with a design they liked.
During dinner, I suggested putting crenelations on top of them instead. Since that would be easier, she agreed.
After dinner, we all went into The Wife's office, where she used some card stock to draw some crenelations. I asked what was wrong with using Google to find a template, and then came to my office, and found something better. Someone had created some GIFs that could be printed out and used to make a castle. I printed a copy of the image for the tower, and after a little tweaking, we made it work.
I used an X-Acto knife to cut the spaces in the crenelations, The Wife wrapped them around the tubes and stapled them, and then we went back to the dining room to attach them.
While we were trying to come up with a way to attach them, The Wife & I helped The Child touch things up, and showed her how to make a flag that would stick to the stick she got out of the yard.
We got the towers stuck onto the castle, and I took some pics to show off here.
Granted, it doesn't really look anything like her drawing, but that was just to give an idea.

So, there you have it. She's turning it in tomorrow. It was kinda fun to help. I hope she gets more projects like this next year.
