This axe and oil can represent the tin man..I also have a glass ball hanging from a tree that represents Glenda the good witch. Image link:

I love your tin man...keep saying I will make one for the GSs play corner but have not. This summer for sure, lol. I would not buy the sardines, I would sorta flatten another can...yuck. But I like salmon, does it come in those flat cans, hmmm. I see you use the building foam in your windows like I do (and I am in S CA). I took some at our last house and made a pillowcase to put them in to compliment my curtains, lol. Still have them. Went in once and the GSs had one not covered and had broken it in pieces and used it for elephant ears (ages 2, 2 1/2 and 3 at the time). Then they kept breaking it up and making snow. I did not have the heart to stop them...but the cleanup...oh my. June

Is this it? Here is a link that might be useful: tin man

Thanks red_confetti, I like that idea. I'd hate to spend a fortune on fabric for something that will only be worn one time probably. But I appreciate the other ideas, I would never have thought of the teflon fabric. I didn't even know they sold it by the yard anyway. Thanks to all, KathieO
