Simple House of Cards


Building a house or castle with cards is a tricky thing to do. Using old cards with slits cut into them makes building less frustrating and more fun for young children.

Materials
  • Old playing cards
  • Scissors

Directions

  1. Help your child cut two half-inch slits about two inches apart in each long side of each card.
  2. Show him how to fit the cards together to build a house, castle, or other structure.
