Doors, Windows, Floors, and Roof
1. Decide on how many floors you want and choose boxes accordingly. Mark doors and windows and cut them out with a paper cutter.
2. For the top floor, open up the box and lean the two long sides towards each other and cut out the two short sides so they line up like this:
3. Level the floors by placing a piece of cardboard in between the flaps and sticking cello tape over it.
4. Cover the outside of both the boxes with colored paper, and cut out the paper that covers the windows and doors.
5. Cut little rectangles out of colored paper. Stick them on the roof closely to resemble roof tiles. Repeat on both sides.
6. Paint on the sides of the boxes left uncovered by the colored paper. You can use acrylic paints and can also decorate with stickers. We used blue for the top floor and green for the ground floor.
