Eli loves his Dinosaur Mat and Train Mat so for my Nephew’s 3rd birthday I decided to make him one. Apparently he’s quite into pirates at the moment so I went with a pirate theme.
I googled pictures of treasure maps for inspiration but it’s completely my own design.
I put a bit of stuffing in the island to make it more 3d The treasure chest opens and contains real gold (ric rac)
and it rolls up neatly to throw in a bag.
The only problem is once it’s been rolled up a few times the tree doesn’t stand up very well, I’ll have to keep working on that.
