The trick
Build the floor flat, then fold the four walls straight up before you add the lid. Every box in the toy is this move.
What you will need
- 6 square tiles
Step by step
1. Lay the floor
Put one square flat on the table. This is the floor of the box.
2. Raise the four walls
Stand a square up on each edge of the floor. The magnets hold them at the corners.
3. Cap it with a lid
Lay the last square flat across the top. That is a closed box.
