Building a Cardboard Treehouse

This afternoon Julia and I got to work building one of her birthday presents:  a cardboard treehouse.  The directions said it would take us 30 minutes to build the ten-piece structure...but I wasn't too sure about that.

 With some guidance on how and where to fold the cardboard, as well as where to join the pieces, Julia had a lot of fun building this.

 Would you believe it only took us 21 minutes to build it?!?  I was pleasantly surprised.  And Julia was so proud of herself.  Next up is decorating.  This treehouse is for her three-inch princess dollies, so I'm sure it will be the most glamorous treehouse you've ever seen.
