Cute little house

5 to 8 years

Don't know how to entertain your little one? - Just ask him/her to make a cute cardboard house for a small toy!

You'll need:


  • cardboard disposable cup;
  • colored paper;
  • scissors;
  • glue;
  • cocktail straw;
  • toothpicks;
  • acrylic paints;
  • brush;
  • jar of water;
  • lacy paper napkin;
  • buttons;
  • pencil;
  • stationery knife;
  • marker.

Take the cardboard cup -  it will be your little house. Cut out windows and doors in the cup with a stationary knife.

Make a hole in the house's roof and insert a piece of cocktail straw - you'll get a chimney.

Color the house with acrylic paints, let them dry.

Make various additional details out of colored paper, craft curtains using lace paper napkin, hang a button near the house door - it will be your lantern, etc.

Use your imagination and be creative.

The house is ready!
