about 30 minutes · medium · with help from an adult · 160 gsm paper
Colour in all the faces and pictures. Cut out the model along the solid lines; leave the grey tabs attached.
Fold all the dotted lines inwards, tabs too: the picture stays on the outside. Score the lines first with a ruler and an empty ballpoint pen for crisper folds.
The wall with all the holes is the front; the pointed roof goes on top.
A real bee hotel is made from hollow stems or drilled wood. This paper hotel is just for looking at: put it indoors by the window.
Glue the tabs one by one to the inside of the edge next to them. Close the last face like a lid: hold it down until the glue is dry.
It looks best on thick paper (160 gsm).
