Paint or
stain 70 of the popsicle sticks brown. Then paint the styrofoam
base green.
Following
the map below, build the walls of the fort. Push the popsicle
sticks deep into the styrofoam (about 1"). Remember to leave out
3 sticks for the gate.
With the
remaining unpainted popsicle sticks make the Chief Factor's house,
the worker's housing, and the store.
Color and
cut out the roofs for the buildings. Glue them on top of the house
walls. Color and cut out the gate, then glue it to the fort walls.
The last
step is to make a bell tower with 3 toothpicks and a flagpole
from two toothpicks. Color and cut out the flag and glue it to
the flagpole.
