Different kinds of homes represent the different life-styles and standards of living people live. Adults and children place cubes into a circle on a piece of cardboard or a paper plate to imitate an igloo. Wet the pieces and crinkle to make it look more like animal hide. Use water paint to paint Native American designs. When paint is dry, fold paper bag into a cone shape to imitate Teepee.
Chopsticks make good teepee poles.
Place the tied bundles in a circle to build the hut shape. You can also weave raffia in and out between the bundles to hold them together. Lay loose straw on the top of the ring of bundles to form a roof. Then build houses of different sizes and shapes. Help children cut openings for doors and windows.
