This is a paper craft activity where you cut out the pieces and glue them together to build a 3D model of a house.
Here’s how to do it step by step:
1.
Cut carefully along all the black outlines — including the tabs (the small flaps with dotted lines). These tabs are what you’ll use to glue the pieces together.
2.
Fold along the dashed or dotted lines — these show where the paper should bend to make the 3D shape. Fold neatly so your house looks clean and sturdy.
3.
Start assembling:
- First, fold up the side walls and attach them using the tabs on the bottom piece (the long blue rectangle with windows).
- Then attach the front and back pieces (the ones with the arched roofs) to the ends.
- Glue the roof pieces (orange hexagon-patterned parts) on top — they fit over the peaked sections.
- Don’t forget the chimney! It goes on one side of the roof.
4.
Use glue only on the tabs, not on the whole edge — this keeps things tidy and helps the model hold its shape better.
5. Let the glue dry before moving it around.
When you’re done, you’ll have a cute little blue house with an orange roof — just like the example shown in the corner!
Final Answer: Cut out all pieces along the solid lines, fold along the dashed lines, and glue the tabs to assemble the 3D house model as shown in the reference picture.
