Creative Problem Solving

Today our task was to make a dolls house for a toddler.  All we had was newspaper, one piece of card come cellotape and string.  It had to be free standing, have 2 rooms, a window and have a door that would open and close.  It was quite challenging because the newspaper was flimsy so we had to strengthen it buy using quite a few pieces together. Kendall,  Liam and Allysa came 1st, closely followed by Willam, Taine and Zara.
