Help! i have to build a castle out of scratch for history! what are good ideas that i can make it out of??

styrafoam. its amazing trust me, use paint and paint it, and use hot glue to glue it together. they also have shaped styrafoam too. you could also use cardboard, water bottles as towers, boxes etc..

toilet paper rolls,, and constuction paper, it works really good

polymer clay

Cardboard or paper mache!

Sugar cubes (they look just like bricks!)

A box for the main body of the castle. Toilet paper rolls the center part, Paper towel cardboard center makes a good turrent. A pointed paper hat made to fit the top makes a roof for it. Stick it to the side of the box, Best to do four one in each corner but two on the front corners. The toilet paper rolls get little hats as well and put on either side of the door. cut out a gate/ bridge to fit using string instead of chains to raise and lower it. Paint the whole thing like stones or bricks. One castle. Flags for on top can be made from paper glued onto toothpicks

I think the best way is to make the foundations in cardboard then just finish it off with any material you like. You can attach decors on it like fake mosses you can buy at craft stores, color it, place flags, attach wooden-like panels for the doors and windows, or coats of arm. The only problem here is the pattern for cutting out the boards. Check out this site, it might help: http://www.yourchildlearns.com/castle.htm

I think you should make the foundation out of plastic or rubber (more preferably plastic), and then make the rest out of packaging peanuts, like the stuff that you get in a package from UPS, by gluing the peanuts together into a house like shape.

popsicle stick, wood, styrofoam
