A prime example of such living on the School House grounds is our log house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The log house is filled to the brim with interesting artifacts about life in the 1800s, but with this craft, we\u2019d like to show a little appreciation to the building that encompasses it all. In this activity, we\u2019re going to walk you through the steps of building your own log house on paper: a simple, entertaining and low cost activity for children (it&#8217;s pretty fun for adults too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Materials<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/schoolhousemuseum.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/08\/img_1563.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-658\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Spare cardboard (dig around your recycling)<\/li><li>1 sheet of blank paper<\/li><li>15 &#8211; 20 popsicle sticks<\/li><li>White school glue<\/li><li>Coloured markers<\/li><li>Paint, paint brushes and mixing tray (optional)<\/li><li>Scissors<\/li><li>Outdoor materials: rocks, pine needles, pine cones, leaves, etc<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>An optional step, but definitely more fun if you choose to do it.
