Cardboard House
Create a house of your choice using cardboard and paint.
Your kids are invited to let their imaginations run wild and to dream up their ultimate house. They will use cardboard, tape, glue and paint to make it. They will design, draw, cut, paint and assemble their house. They can add stairs, furniture and miniatures details.

When I'm not making art, find me listening to music on full blast in the kitchen, dancing and making food for my family:)
