Building Lighthouses
Imagine you are a builder and transform a simple cardboard box into a beautiful lighthouse. It's an exciting adventure where you learn how to make something special from everyday items. It gets even better when you invite your family or friends to join in and create a little glowing village together. So, get ready, grab scissors, glue, and old boxes, and start this adventure!
What you'll need
- Old cardboard boxes
- Transparent paper
- Glue

How it works
-
Find an old cardboard box and cut it to look like a house. You can cut out windows and doors as you like.
-
Glue the transparent paper inside over the windows. This will give you beautiful, glowing windows when you turn on the light later.
-
Place small LED tealights or a string of lights inside the box. Make sure the light shines through the transparent paper windows.
-
Turn on the lights in the evening and watch your lighthouse shine in the dark. It's like a little miracle!
