He had so much fun playing with the snow crawler that I wanted to make him something special. He really likes the little lego doors, so I included eight with different surprises behind each one. I used a duplo train chassis so it has power functions that he can control.</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09626284643849125889noreply@blogger.com0
