I have included these simple instructions so that anyone can have a go, although your parents may have to help you out while you are marking your walls and doors etc. You can make the stables as basic or as complicated as you like. As we were just kids, we made ours out of cardboard boxes. You can use grocery boxes for larger models, shoe boxes for smaller models. Sharp scissors with pointed ends - good for cutting holes for windows and doors.
Acrylic paints from a hobby shop, with different sized brushes.
If wanted, you can purchase paper with brickwork, wood or tile patterns for added realism. Also using your ruler and pencil, mark how high you want the stables to be. In order to make the roof slant in a realistic way, make the wall and the front higher than the wall and the back and slant the side walls down between them. Using your scissors, cut carefully around the box where you have marked your roof height. You can use the lid of the box, or an extra piece of cardboard if the lid is not suitable, for the roof.
