First, the box must be covered with paper. You can glue the paper on or just use a stapler.

Then paint the walls of the houses with your favorite colors. 

Indeed, you could simply paste the boxes over with coloured paper, but it is not so interesting - your kid will like being a house painter, painting the walls of houses in a variety of bright colours!

Older kids can draw  the doors and windows directly on the walls. Younger kids should use the windows and doors drawn on a sheet of paper.

Draw different doors, balconies and windows templates. Ask your little one to colour them with bright wax crayons and pencils.

Arrange a role play with the town - invite little toy citizens, come up with a story.

The role-play games help to develop imagination, fantasy and creativity. Play together with your little one, teach him or her to resolve different situations, to invent interesting stories.

Make photos of your kid playing with their cute town and upload to the App. Write briefly about the story you've invented and describe your kid's impressions.
