I saw a great idea for a covered wagon. Tape swim noodles to a small wooden table & cover with a sheet. Looks just like a covered wagon and it is very easy & cheap!

I would have never thought of swim noodles for a wagon. We are planning to make our snack table look like the back of a wagon. I was thinking of using tent poles to form the arch. But the noodles might be easier to hold into place.

The noodles worked great for the wagon so I tried them for our tepee. Took three new stiff noodles and tied the tops. They seem to be holding their own. I am planning to cover them with a white sheet, but first I will have the kids each finger paint a picture on the sheet.
