Tutorial: Car playmat with houses, mountains, and an airport

February 5, 2011 by Anne Weaver

Joanna from The Project Corner shares a 3-part tutorial for making this awesome playmat.  It has streets for play cars to drive up and down, and a whole neighborhood of friendly little houses.  The houses are little pockets that function as garages for the little cars.  And did you see the little tunnel?  Toooo cute!

Go to part 1 of the tutorial to find out how to make the houses.

Go to part 2 of the tutorial to find out how she made the mountain, the airport, and the little sandbox (with flaps that lift to reveal tiny fossils!).

Go to part 3 of the tutorial to find out how to mark the roads.
