Instructions:

Step 1:

Cut out the windows and around the door using a craft knife. Make sure you leave the bottom of the door attached.

Step 2:

Fold down the door and glue the separate door piece onto the back, to make it double sided.

Step 3:

Punch holes in the front of the castle and in the door (use a push pin with a piece of tack behind, and then extend the hole with a pencil). Cut two pieces of string (or rope) 6 inches long. Thread them through the front of the castle and through the door and knot each end. This will create a drawbridge.

Step 4:

Fold the tabs on the front and back of the castle and attach the sides. You can now place the egg box in the back..

Step 5:

Set the scene. Will your princesses spend time in their castle or in the grounds, and will they visit their unicorn friend or swan?.
