Little Red Barn
If your child loves barns and farm animals, he'll love this easy cardboard barn.
Materials
Directions
Use scissors (or the X-Acto knife) to make the box into the shape of a barn, with a peaked roof. To get the doors to fold out, score the inside of the cardboard.
Paint the barn with a paint primer.
Outline as many windows as you'd like and a door with tape.
Paint the barn red and the roof black.
After the paint dries, pull off the tape to reveal the white windows and doors.
