material needed:

popsicle sticks, glue

let's get started:

1. Decide what to build. The basic of this activity is to glue the Popsicle sticks together. To build a wall for a house - glue them together on the sides.

Use five to ten Popsicle sticks for each wall. The front of the house will use two panels of two to seven Popsicle's to leave room for a door.

Experienced builders can leave room for a window. Build a panel for the floor and the roof.

2. When all of the panels are put together, glue them together to shape into a house (or other structure).

Variations: Use toothpicks and glue. Make a house of cards without the glue.
