The castle can be assem- bled and reassembled many times. Although the plan is sim- ple, adult guidance may be required — or at least, the adults can pretend that it • is, so theycan get in on the fun. Scissors, a ruler and rub- ber cement are the only equipment required, in ad- dition to the gift wraps and cardboards. Begin by cutting 24 pieces of cardboard, each five inches by seven inches. Cement gift wraps to each side and trim the edges. To make Type "A" cards cut one and one-quarter inch slits in 22 of the " cards.

At intervals, insert cards horizontally for an interesting, balconied " ef- fect. Reserve two Type "A" cards for roof.
