Corner Elevator Tower
Let's build a super cool elevator tower that fits right into a corner! Watch it go up and down!
Stick it to
Do the Stick Test
Gently try one tile on the corner edge. If it sticks, congratulations, your wall has bonus play architecture.
Safety: Test gently first. Not all corners are magnetic, and paint may mark if pieces slide.
