Steps:
1.
All
the children together examine their plans and decide, which houses they want
to build (a maximum of 3 are enough to begin with).
2.
Construction of the houses:
The older children will take over the "measuring" and the building
of the walls, the younger children will paint them, build mail boxes etc.
Very large boxes were stabilized by wires with the assistance of the nursery
school teachers.

The windows were equipped
with shutters, some also with blinds. The children had turned cords for
pulling them up. The cords were held by little hooks that had been stuck
through the cardboard.
