On The Scene - Rooms & Scenes

Here's a scene I set up about 10 years ago. It's a preschool, in which Barbie is attempting to read to 4 small children, however Skipper and Stacie have come to visit.

This scene was set up simply enough with a contact paper border cut from plaid elephants that I overlapped into a follow the leader type pattern. It covered up some of the imperfections in the dollhouse that housed this scene. I used more contact paper elephants to add some random character to the walls.

The carpeting is easy to aquire. I found a carpet store that left its scraps and remmants from installation jobs in a bin behind the store. These are the perfect sizes for scenes and dioramas. The scraps are easily cut with a box cutter, but use caution!

The chalkboard, world map, and two student desks were included with Teacher Barbie, as was her outfit. The locker was purchased at a discount store and is fairly oversized. There'd be no way to display more of these in the small space. The small round table was purchased at a dollar store and is truly 1:12 scale, but perfect for little ones. The terribly outdated computer and the oversized globe were also purchased from a dollar store. The boom box on top of the locker is a refrigerator magnet. The two lunchboxes were purchased from a novelty store and began life as a keychain. I have since removed the chain.
