What to do on a rainy Saturday, stuck inside with two children?

Make a Star Wars play set, that’s what!

Ingredients: one polystyrene insulated box, and two polystyrene pieces that came with our new printer.

Oh, and a few screws.

Throw these things together and what do you have? Echo Base, on the ice planet of Hoth, of course.

This was incredibly easy to make, but it only looked complete once we added the Star Wars toys to it.

What’s not to like?
