Steve from Finkbuilt has a clever way to make really nice play sets for kids, he writes - "Lately, Harlan (4) and I have been using google images to find textures, then printing out inkjets to use in the construction of simple carboard sets for our PlayMobil games. Kids seem to like these homemade buildings much more than the $100.00 playmobile sets, and they can be made for pennies. This technique could probably be applied to model building that is appropriate to the 8-10 year old set as well."
