- Cardboard is a versatile material that can be used to create amazing things. You can bend, cut, and fold it to make different shapes.
- When cutting cardboard, always be careful and ask for help if needed. Safety first!
- Think about the design of your house before starting. What colors will you use? How many windows and doors will it have?
