Building an Adobe House with children

Straw Earth Water

Adobe Bricks

The children mix the straw, earth and water with their hands and feet until the mixture

reaches a smooth-sticky texture.

They can form the bricks with the earth-straw

mixture and place them in a sunny area. Here the

bricks need to dry.

Once the bricks are dry

the construction of

the wall can start.

With a little guidance all children can easily build a

wall!

Glass stones are a perfect

contrast to the rough mud wall.

A magic window!

In order to keep the adobe house lasting for many years,the roof needs to overlap all

walls.

Time to play!
