Why spend money on a dolls house when you can create your own from your recycling!


Material

  • 1 Cardboard box
  • 1 Scissors
  • 1 Stickytape
  • 2 Toilet rolls
  • Various Tissue papers
  • Various Permanent markers and pencils
  • 2 Small balls of wool for fairy hair

Method

  1. Dismantle a wine box and fashion into the shape of a dolls house using tape and scissors.
  2. Cut in details like windows and a door..
  3. Decorate the house. I used wrapping paper to line the internal walls and sgarpies and pencils to decorate the outside. Let the kids decorate!
  4. Create fairies by adding facial features, sticky tape wool for hair and cut and tape on tissue paper wings and dresses.
  5. Have fun playing with it all! Create a whole village and more fairies to keep the fun going.
