I am planning on building a toyhouse for the kids...out of styrofoam.

What fasteners would you recommend to fasten the walls together so it
can be disassembled for transport between houses?

Thanks

velcro strips. to attach the velcro strips there is styrofoam
construction adhesive.

Depending on size, covering materials, location, age of kids...

Have you ever seen styrofoam catch light?

You may want to rethink its use as a playstuff... It's probably safe in most
locations, but model a worst case scenario and think it through carefully.

Yes, the modified material burn until you take the heat away and then it
goes out. It won't sporadically start to burn. In tests by Factory Mutual
with a burning wastebasket, it proved safer than wall paneling.

I'm thinking those stick-on picture hangers and elastic bands...

I agree with the velcro idea but make sure you use the industrial
grade stuff.

Velcro strips from the Home Center. I build a
"paint booth" using the very same parts.
