Written walkthrough

Build a birdhouse with a doorway cut by Push in › Draw a shape .

1. Add the house and roof

Drop a Cube on open floor. Select the Pyramid, tap the cube’s top so the preview appears on it, and Drop.

2. Cut the doorway

Switch to Build, tap Push in, set the top row to Draw a shape, and tap the front face. Trace a doorway on the dot grid (an octagon makes a round door) and close the loop. Set the switch to All the way through; the button reads Cut through. Press it. The doorway opens in the shape you drew.

3. Pull out a perch

On the Build card, tap one of the small faces under the doorway (the cut split the wall into smaller faces) and press Pull out for a perch.

4. Color it

Fill the walls brown and the roof darker. Or put a shingle pattern on the roof and paint a name over the door.

Size the door for the bird: big and round for an owl, small for a wren.
