While I have seen playhouses that fold out, it is rare to find one that is more boy oriented like this adorable garage that unfolds into car playmat.   This cute creations is by an engineer turned domestic scientist at Cook Clean Craft and she included their favorite places on the mat.  

While time consuming to cut out all the shapes, this would make a fun, personalized project for the any youngster that likes to play with 1/64 scale cars.    For more info click here.

The above colorful rainbow of colored rice idea is from Share and Remember.

Although St. Patrick's Day is over, this would be a fun kids activity for next year or even for a birthday party as a "make and take craft" .  You could layer in clear plastic or glass jars similar to sand art and put a lid on it, or leave it open and stick plastic flowers and use it as a vase.

All you need is rice, food coloring or liquid water colors and rubbing alcohol.

The "Everything" Play Table - a fabulous low cost DIY present for a child!

This "Everything Table"  was created by Craftser user leighi123 (and the winner of the Handmade Holiday Gifts for Kids 2 challenge) that she crafted for her 4 year old son for Christmas using an old shoe rack, wood and felt and integrating a few other items and toys.

Not only could this be made at a minimal cost, it also takes up minimal space (see last picture).
