We have conceded our crib. After all the recent recalls of drop sided cribs, I just couldn’t deny anymore that it was a potential death trap. Molly has never really slept in it anyway, although Tessa, Max, and Lily did. So Molly is stuck in a pack and play.
Jay decided to cut it apart so that it couldn’t be used again. (We didn’t want that whole *death trap* thing on our consciences.) And he discovered that it was made out of really nice wood with a great sound to it. So he is going to try to make a xylophone out of the slats… or at least that is his current plan. I’ll be sure to post a picture of the crib xylophone if he can do it!
Fantastic recycling idea! Can’t wait to see and hear it! (hint – video?) 🙂
Good idea! We’ll have to catch some video of it when we’re done. Jay found some neat websites to show him how to make it and adjust the tones. I’m excited for this little project!
