House on a hilltop - how to make

When your kid asks you to build a house, check this page for an easy idea on how to build a house on a hilltop

What you need?

An ice cream box or any square box
Colourful papers
Sticky tape
Scissors
Green bowl
 


How to make?

First cover the ice cream box with colour papers for the walls
Bend a colour paper and then stick it up on to the top of the box as a roof
Cut out some windows and doors and stick them
Place the house on top of a green bowl for the hilltop
Draw some flowers, cut it out and stick to the bowl
There your house on hill top is ready quickly.




Instead of the green bowl, you can also use a cereal box covered with green colour paper for the grass and make a house on a garden as below.

 
For an apple tree in your garden, use a toilet roll. Draw some green leaves with apples in it, cut it  out and stick to the top of the toilet roll. Cut some slits on the bottom of the toilet roll and squash it and stick it to the garden as roots.

Hope you enjoyed the post and have fun making one!

What Keith says..

Keith bought some new colour pens. He separated them into three groups, one group of dark colour pens, second group of light colour pens and a third group of medium colour pens.

Keith: Pointing to the light colour pens, asks what are these colour called?
Me: Light colours

Keith: Points to the dark colour pens, asks what are these colour called?
Me: Dark colours

Keith: Points to the medium colour pens and asks what are these colours called?
Me: Normal colours
Keith: No they are Evening colours. The light colours are meant to be used in the morning time, the dark colours in the night time and these colours are for the evening.
Me:??

Always look at the brighter side...

Everyone has their forthcomings and shortcomings. One must always look at one's brighter side accepting the fact that we may have also have some shortfalls. However the shortfalls can also be turned into a brighter side by analysing the positivity alone out of it. The cup is always half full.
