- 2
Print some at a reduced scale from your printer settings for a varied skyline.

- 4

- 5
Fold the rooftop's edges down and set it over the top.
What's actually printed
Four wall panels in a strip, the front one with a door and six windows, the other three with a smaller window grid, plus a glue tab. A flat rooftop cap sits on top once the walls are assembled.
Assembling it
Cut around the outside, fold every dashed crease, roll the wall strip into a loop, and glue the tab behind the front wall. Fold the flat rooftop's edges down slightly and set it over the top of the walls.
Building a little skyline
Print a few at different scales from your printer's settings, or pair one with the paper house for a two-building block — the flat roof, instead of a peak, is what reads as "building" rather than "house" at a glance.
Questions
What do I need besides the printout?
Scissors and a glue stick, or tape, are enough — no extra materials required.
Can I print more than one to build a row of buildings?
Yes — print it again at a different scale from your printer's settings for a varied skyline.
What age is this good for?
Generally manageable from about age 6 up with some help; younger kids can color the flat sheet before an adult assembles it.
Are there other shapes to build?
Yes — see the matching paper house, robot, and rocket crafts.
