PAPER TUBE CARPENTRY

Activity: Learn how to design and create a fairy house -AND- how it can be expanded to make an entire tiny village or castle!

Preparation: Think about what kind of creature will live in the house you make! What kind of house would they have? A water sprite, for example, might have a very different house than a moss troll!

Gather materials and ask a parent for help or permission, if needed.

Materials needed:

• paper tubes
• felt or colored paper or paint--or all three!
• masking tape
• scissors
• glue stick
• fun stuff: glitter, gems, pinecones, feathers...whatever you’ve got! whatever you want!

Don’t forget to find a work space to get messy!
