DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Milk Carton House Craft
This craft works well for a "my family", "my
neighbourhood" or Little Red Ridinghood (Grandma's house) theme. |
 |
NOTE: In the directions, a 2 litre milk carton
(Canadian) is the same as a 1/2 gallon milk carton (American)
Materials:
- 2 L milk carton (clean)
- scissors
- tape
- paper (construction paper or white paper)
- OPTIONAL: paint, markers, crayons, pencil crayons
- OPTIONAL: stickers
Directions:
- Cut the top off the milk carton so your house is the desired size (we made
ours about square)
- Cover the milk carton with paper -- tape it on. For preschoolers, an
adult can pre-do this for them.
- paint or color the house.
- Cut a door into the front of the house.
- draw on windows, flowers, etc or use stickers.
- OPTIONAL: cut a square piece of paper and fold it in half.
Drape it over the top as a roof (we didn't do this).
- OPTIONAL: Glue or tape the house to a piece of green construction
paper. The children can decorate the paper with pinecone trees, cotton
balls dipped in thin green paint for bushes, and a little path
