Creative Challenge 9
Title:
Teeny Tiny House
Artform:
Modelling
Challenge:
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be very small, so small you could live in a teeny tiny house like this one? Or maybe you could make your home under the floorboards, inside a grandfather clock, toadstool or even inside the trunk of a large tree?
You can make your own little house and pretend that you live there or think of somebody or something who might – such as an animal, fairy, dwarf or Hobbit.
Resources:
2 pint plastic milk bottle, kitchen roll or newspaper, craft glue, card, paint and paintbrush
