You can make the structural design however you would like, so have fun! For us, we went pretty basic and took a large car seat cardboard box bent the top flats at an angle towards one another, leaving a gap at the top. Next we bent a separate piece of cardboard over the gap at the top of an open box to create a pitched roof, securing everything with tape. Then we cut out two windows and a door that open. Afterwards, the fun begins! We cut and taped on varying pieces of constructions paper to cover the entire house. The colors make the house look like a patch work quilt. Afterwards, we gave our little one some crayons and then they could color all over inside and out to make it their own! It took us a around an hour and a half together to get the structure built and everything taped on, making it fairly simple and affordable project. Our little one loves it and continues to color and draw on it – making it the perfect toddler activity!

Side Note: We added a small strand of lights inside to the top for a little twinkle fun!
