Lightweight and cheery, this freestanding playhouse is roomy enough for a tea party but also can be folded together for easy storage in a closet or under a bed.

art supply stores)
Utility knife Tempera paints Paint roller or paintbrushes Twine | |

| Instructions: | |
| 1. | First, use the utility knife (adults only) to cut out windowpanes and a door. |
| 2. | Next, cover both sides of the walls with a base coat of paint. Add trim and wall decorations. |
| 3. | Now it's time to raise the walls. Cut three holes in each side (one in each corner and one in the center), 1 inch in from the edge. Thread twine through the holes and tie the walls together at the openings. |
| 4. | To hang curtains, cut holes through the walls above each window, thread pieces of twine through, and tie a curtain rod or dowel in place. Use the same method to attach a shoe box for a window planter or a cardboard canister for a mailbox. |
