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

Step by step

1. Lay the floor
Put one square flat on the table. This is the floor of the box.

3. Cap it with a lid
Lay the last square flat across the top. That is a closed box.
