buildings from the first day of the city

Luke made Fox Point Manor

because that's where he lives with his mom

rugrats store

It has a door and I put this [a sticker] on it and I drew on it. You can take a rugrats toy out. I put stickers on it and you can buy one. — Esme

house

We're making a house and it's gonna have the 50s and 60s kind of curtains on the inside. We are gonna make a flower box and put in on this window and on the outside it's gonna be all kinds of flowers on the house. And on the back of it it's gonna be 80s — and on the other side all kinds of more flowers. —  Sivani

In the living room it's gonna have all different colors like collage, as the painting on the wall. The manager is Sivani and she is a brilliant architect. — Miranda

It has cool styles. It's nice inside and the style is new. Your birthday will be a success. Have a nice time in our mansion house. — Tyona

monster building

This is a monster building. You can see different monsters back here [in the windows]. When you go inside it's so black because they don't turn on the lights — there are no lights — it's pitch black in there. There's different kinds of monsters:

the four-eyed monster

the one-eyed monster

the four-horned monster

the evil scientist

the oud

the phantom

the guy who has no mouth and his mouth is cracked

the spiky hair guy

frankenstein

slide

I'm putting the little people that I made on it so they can slide on it. I'm gonna make a little seesaw that way they can ride on it. Then I'll make a little tunnel so they can go through the little tunnel. — Alana

weird people

I did an old lady with purple lips and weird eyes! — Kaylisha

biohazard building

"bring a cookie"

I thought that the milk building is healthy, because you can recycle it and drink it, so visit it and drink MILK. — Miranda

kitty park

It's a kitty park where cats can go to play. — Elise and Ela

museum

— Francis

Chuckie's market

It's a grocery market. It has a little trap for robbers at the top. and the bottlecaps are for to make sure no one can be on the orange thing. The big black thing is for the smokestack. And that's it!

It's called Chuckie's. — Sabina

mansion

I am making a mansion but it's not done yet. — Malachy

home

They say home is where the heart is

for me it is where my child and family lives

that is where I belong and plan to stay...

garage and car

The car has two people inside it. The car can open up. — Francis

car and garage

I started with the wheels. I put wheels into boxes and then I glued the boxes together and I glued something on the front of it like a horse and I glued on a trunk of it and it opens. Then I glued black leather on the top and sides and now I'm gluing flames on it.

It's used for racing.

I made my garage by taking a box and putting my car in it. I took another box and cut it then I glued it in the other box, then I taped the lines of it and the other box. Then I glued a different box. Then I glued in the box, tape it down, then glued a little box in, then I got a string in it and tied it in my car. — Bunyan

booby trap building

The booby trap is basically a giant tube and there's this rock protecting a few thousand dollars and what the real aim of it to do is what the robbers are aiming for is to move the rock out of the way, but all they'll do is make the tube fall and make a little trap — we put a few rugrats stickers in it for entertainment...

I basically connected things with hot glue. I basically connected a piece of cardboard to two different things ... a bridge — and I built an elevator. — Owen

The tube leads down to the bottom of the building so the robbers fall. There is some money in the box and when the robbers go in they are trapped and they roll out of town. — Nate
