Assembly
When the houses are dry, fold the sides of the house together and tuck in the middle part first. The bottom closure has two sections: First fold over the part with the two ends, then fold in the one with one end. Stand the house upright and carefully flatten the bottom down from the inside. Lastly, fold over the roof and tuck in the last flap.
