The trick

Angle the chute so it drops about one tile of height for every one and a half tiles of length. Three tiles then run from the second-storey platform to the floor with no gap to jump at the bottom.

What you will need

  • 15 square tiles

Step by step

  1. 1. Build the tower

    Stack two closed boxes into a tower two tiles tall and cap the top - that lid is the slide platform.

  2. 2. Lean the chute

    From the front top edge of the platform, lean three tiles in a line so they step down together to the floor.

  3. 3. Lay the run-out

    Lay two flat tiles end to end at the foot of the chute so a toy has a runway to roll along and the chute has ground to lock into.
