Wood Block Houses

Glueing wood pieces together to create an art house

Let your imagination run wild to create your own art house!

Students pick out one large piece of wood for a base and many small pieces to build their houses. Students will practice using sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges. Then the students will drawn on the pieces of wood with marker and then paint the wood pieces. While the wood pieces are drying the students will draw some windows, doors, and animals on paper. Then students will cut out the drawings with scissors and glue the paper pieces on the wood. Then it is time to glue the pieces of wood together to construct their own art house.
