"Identify the Parts"

This may be the most important step in building a dollhouse. The builder is reading the instructions and trying the pieces. This step is valuable for becoming familiar with the parts, for getting the parts grouped in assembly order, and for figuring out the painting plan. Skipping this step is a mistake for beginners and experienced builders alike.

As you identify the parts, label them with sticky notes using the names from the parts list. Then the parts' names will be familiar to you as you read the instructions.

Mark them off the parts list so you know you have everything and have identified everything.
