My youngest son is Home Educated, he recently asked if he could make a Dollshouse as a project.
So after some research, and lots of discussion we decided that a cheap American plywood house would be best for him. We chose the Storybook Cottage.
Yesterday he (well we) started to build the house, he decided to make it a part brick house. By bedtime the house was pretty much built.
Today he had finished off the rest of the structural, and most of the decoration.
I will later, when he is in bed tidy the house up a bit, and finish of some of the fiddly bits. But I think he has done really well, especially for an 8 year old.
