Over the last couple months my boys and I have been working on a Super Mario themed rock climbing wall. They helped build, paint, lay out, and assemble almost every piece in some way or another. I'm not sure who's having more fun, me or them!It features a question block that lights up and makes a coin “bling” when you hit the bottom as incentive to reach the top, and a plush 1-up mushroom for an extra life in case you fall. The cushion on the bottom is a Nugget and serves as its own source of creativity, like the time when Bowser stole the 1-up and put it atop his castle!My materials list with links, costs, and quantities is all in a google doc here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n_e-vXi3dOUHtWXetfCcmWgYUEp4fcEYVf6ocFY3y1o/edit?usp=sharingI made a few blog posts about the progress here that have way more detail:

This was a great memory for all of us to create, and it has already brought immeasurable joy to me watching each of my boys see the magic come to life in front of their eyes. Hope you enjoy!
