I do understand that it is very short notice and it can be very difficult to get hold of a pallet. It is after all just a toy and you really only need a small part of the pallet or a small pallet.

It would be nice to have a photo of the pallet even if it in parts please don't let that stop you getting involved.

There will be prize as voted by members and I think most of you would be greatly rewarded just by seeing the child play with the toy.

So far I have one confirmed member registered for the challenge.

I know that this is very late notice and getting a pallet is always the hardest part. I am hoping to get members into making something very simple. Some ideas to ponder, a push toy, a pull toy, a toy for learning, a toy playing(yeah I know I am pushing the boundary).

Christos, My issue is finding a small hardwood pallet...If I can do that, I already have a plan of a toy.
I have a heap of timber offcut in the shed BUT need to follow the rules of "pallet first" and not stash..
Cheers, Peter

I have the slates from a pallet but unfortunately will not be entering as I am busy making Christmas presents which takes priority. Even the candle sticks that I have just made for a competition on another site are presents. the mail truck money box is a present and I still have 4 hanging decorations to make as well as a pair of tea light holders.

GOOD NEWS -
My neighbour found a small 3' x 2' hardwood pallet at his work today for me so though I'll be starting late with a busy week ahead I can join in the challenge now.

Why can't I enlarge the photos to get a better view?

I have just checked and I think it was my fault when I uploaded them to the forum. I resized them before uploading and I think I made them too small.
