Bernadetta’s Challenge

I have challenged our children in building a 3 or more storey house made of cards on our YouTube Channel last week and I know this is a big challenge!

So, I will suggest a few tips:

  1. Make sure to build your card’s house on a flat and stable surface, such as the floor or a kitchen top bench;
  2. Place a tea towel or towel on your surface, so the first row of cards are more stable and there is less risk of collapse; alternative you can use the carpet or flat rug.
  3. Before placing the cards on your construction, try on the surface first and see if the cards are collapsing – sometimes you need to find the perfect couple of cards!

I hope these tips will help you in my challenge and don’t forget to share photos or videos with us!
