Step by step instructions
Step 1 – Using the pencil and ruler, mark out where you’re going to cut the timber, at various lengths. You’ll be cutting straight along the bottom, with either a gable shape for the roof or flat top for the sky scrapers.
Step 2 – Cut the pieces using the drop saw, and sand the rough edges using sand paper.
Step 3 – Using the roller, apply an undercoat of Resene Art Action primer to the front and back of the timber pieces. Leave to dry.
Step 4 – Apply Resene Blackboard Paint over the top. Leave to dry overnight.
Step 5 – Give your children the chalk and show them how to add windows and doors to their mini houses and skyscrapers. They’ll love creating their own mini city!
