Make your own dollhouse from a cardboard box

Materials Needed: 

One corrugated card box. (any size),
 different size boxes from cereal to jello or blocks of wood
 Markers, scraps of material, magazines.

Directions:

  1.  The card board box is your house. 
  2. If you have an old piece of carpet, cut it to fit the bottom of your box for a rug, or make throw rugs from scraps of material.
  3. Cut pictures from magazines and hang (tape) on the wall
  4. Wrap small boxes (such as jello) with brown grocery bag paper and decorate as a stove or refrigerator. 
  5. Make all your furniture from different size boxes. If you have some small pieces of wood, you could draw your refrigerator door on it, or a stove using markers. 
  6. Make sure the wood is sanded to avoid slivers.
  7. Use a thimble for a waste basket. 

There are many items just laying around the house that could be used in your doll house.

Again, this is another project for all age groups with a lot of imagination

and a great use for junk laying around the house.
