Secret Door House Craft

Here's a cute craft my daughter did. They were teaching 2nd graders how to use a small craft knife like a box cutter in her Japanese elementary school. Only do this under adult supervision. Use it to make a secret door and window house. It really lets kids imagination grow.

Materials:

• sheet of white card stock
• colored paper
• crayons
• scissors
• glue
• craft knife
• cutting surface.

Directions:

1. Put your white card on your cutting surface.
2. Draw door or window shapes that can open.
3. Carefully cut the shapes with your craft knife, leaving one side for the hinge.
4. Cut pieces of colorful paper big enough to fit behind each door, window and glue in place.
5. Open the doors and draw a little picture behind each.

Use the same concept to make your own advent calender.
