Make your own miniature house, complete with ‘green’ roof. A teeny home for seeds to grow!
YOU WILL NEED
Cardboard juice carton
Scissors
Paint (white, pink, brown or your favourite colours)
Paint brush
Small piece of sky or landscape from a picture in a magazine (to create a reflected glass effect for the window)
Glue
Soil
Seeds (wildflowers, cornflowers, marigolds, chives…)
HOW TO
1. Cut your carton into a house shape with a gently sloping roof. Paint white, leave to dry. Paint pink with a dry brush to give it a bit of a texture. Leave to dry.
2. Cut out a cardboard rectangle for the door and a square for the window. Paint the door brown and window white, leave to dry.
3. Cut your sky/ landscape image slightly larger than the window piece. Cut into quarters and stick onto the cardboard window spaced slightly apart to create the window frame. Trim the edges. Stick door and window to the house.
4. Fill with soil, sow the seeds, spray with water daily and wait to grow!
