An Inspired Idea...Construction Vehicles

I thought I'd share my set of construction vehicles that go with the book, Tip Tip Dig Dig by Emma Garcia. I was inspired Jane's amazing set at Piper Loves the Library here.  I made this set for my library, but I think I'll make a set for me too...just bigger!

I took a couple of liberties with the design...The cement mixer is 2 shades of purple and all of the tires are charcoal gray.  I used google eyes too. I took this pic while the glue was still wet so the crane looks a little goopy and for some reason the orange looks washed out in this pic. 

   


I also made this flannel dumptruck set based on the craft and rhyme here.  I used matching color, shiny sequins for the hubcaps!  Got a little bling in there! LOL! 


I am really looking forward to using both of these sets this summer. We'll have a lot of fun with friends when we Dig Into Reading this summer!
