Use an old washing powder box. Cover in white paper/paint. Stick on black beams and fashion a roof from cardboard.

They are white with black beams, non?

DS did it in YR1 at school.
Take a medium sized box.
Turn it inside out and stick back together, to cover up the printing on the outside.
Paint it white.
Get some art straws- paint them black
Stick them on for beams.
Paint some black criss-cross windows
Stick on brown paper door.
Paint a piece of corrugated cardboard brown/ yellow for thatched roof.

I'd go for a shoebox with a light covering of bumpy papier mache adorned with black lolly sticks (as this is dh's job)

To be really authentic they would be yellow with black beams

god, this is crap homework.

mrsmaidamess · 23/10/2008 21:57

I love making stuff like that!

choccyp1g · 23/10/2008 21:58

If I were to improve on DS school's design, I'd flatten out the opened top of the box, and stick it to a base. Then you can do agarden, or street scene as well.
DS class did all different sized boxes, then lined them up to make "Pudding Lane" as in Great Fire of London.

you could add one of those stick out loo garderobe things for a posher sort of house?

Look at some of the buildings in the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum for inspiration (some are the right era, & you could maybe model your model on a real house). Visit them at Singleton if you're close enough or peruse the website - they have some kits as well as I recall.
