PORTFOLIO—(For description see page [40].)
11 Barn—House—Furniture
Material—Construction paper, 8×8 inches or 10×10 inches. (See page [42].)
Fold a square into sixteen small squares of equal size; crease. With this as a basis throw the child on his own resources, allowing him to invent a pattern and make a chair, a sofa, or any piece of furniture that he can devise from such a square. A corner may have to be cut out or a slit made, but impress upon the child that, as far as possible, the model must be gotten by folding, with very little or no cutting.
By using a larger square and folding in the same way, a house or a barn may be made. Add a chimney and steps from an extra piece of paper.
