Victooooorious!

We have completed our Medieval Castle!! This was such a fun project to do with the kiddos! We took our time doing it but it was one of those requested things to do!

Our focus was to have the main structures within the castle: main wall, main building, towers, portcullis and draw bridge. We also wanted to cover, much to Mr. Monkey's delight, the different machines used for attack and defense during that time period: embrasures, battering rams, siege tower, catapults and a trebuchet.

Awesome project, everyone felt successful :)

Trebuchet during construction phase. This thing works well and became the new toy!

Our Medieval Castle completed with all machines present and castle pieces accounted for :) Lots of smiles all around!
