Build a House!

(sent in by Lenka P., Kly, CR)

This house is fun and easy to make.... no need to buy anything expensive! Just use what you already have at home....


What you need:

- - Big box + plus extra small box for creating a chimney
- - Paint + paintbrush or colorful paper for covering the walls
- - Stickers or pictures
- - Knife/scissors
- - other accessories you wish to have for decorating...
- - hot glue and tape

First cut off the top part of the box.


Cut the parts for the roof.


Next paint the body of the house or glue the color paper on the walls.
Glue the pieces of the roof together and set it on the house. Use tape to attach the roof to the house from inside.


Cut out the window and the door.


Create a chimney from smaller box, paint it or glue color paper on the sides. Glue the chimney to the roof.


You can use anything you wish to decorate the house. Paint pictures on the walls, use stickers, put old clean carpet inside, or make curtains for the windows, etc.
