… a paper fastener, a tube of glue, a pair of scissors or a craft knife and a little adult help. Shyeah, and the rest! Thanks to Sylvia and her gift of the “Usborne Farmyard Tales Cut-out Farm” book, I’ve spent the last 2 and a half hours with my stanley knife and no adult help. The picture at the bottom of this post shows what the finished farm ‘should’ look like. So far I’ve managed to put the base together and have piled a ton of heavy books on top of it to flatten it down overnight.. and I’ve finished building the farmhouse which will take pride of place in the centre, once I have the aforementioned paper fastener. The instructions number (letter?) the steps A to L. I’ve completed steps A and B. It’s going to be a long, long journey this one… one that will end in tears (mine) when I have to hand it over to the tyrannical model farm destroyer that is my daughter. Oh well, it’ll just have to act as practise for when I eventually get round to purchasing a copy of The Unseen University Cut-out Book.
