How to make a mountain for a school play?!

[Rory786]

Hi, dont know HOW I got roped into this! Any ideas...it needs to be easily assembled and dismantled and should also be able to be folded away for storage. Phew!

I was thinking crates stacked securely covered with a grey sheet...any ideas will be gratefully devoured!

As long as it doesn't have to be climbed up the crates should be OK, you can add a pole in the middle to create a peak. Paint some snow at the top maybe.

A tent? Maybe a little pop-up, play style tent?

Does it have to be 3D? Can it just be 2D? If so, get big pieces of cardboard (sometimes if you go to somewhere like Curry’s or PC World they have big TV boxes they will let you have).
You may still need to stick some together with gorilla tape to make it big enough. Then cut a mountain shape and paint grey/brown or whatever. It can be propped up or taped to chairs from behind so you don’t see them from the front.
We did this in my school last year when the kids performed the Lion King and we had to make a Pride Rock. It looked awesome!
Good luck op!

Cardboard taped to a stepladder

Oh wow! Thank you so much! Fantastic ideas. The crates were proving to be expensive and a tent or step ladder is something that can be used all year. Thank you all so much!
