This is pretty straightforward and can also be applied to building tables for your figures to sit at (make the legs shorter), just a quick note here your drying time is VERY IMPORTANT keep an eye on those legs to make sure they stay straight, be patient, do what I do and work on three or four at a time - or build some crates (see last post) while you're waiting.
Another note if you have a drill that you're allowed to use (or get your parents to help you) it never hurts to drill a hole for the legs to fit into - it will save ALOT of frustration as you wait for them to dry.
I also add support by gluing in some ends of popsicle sticks to keep the legs sturdy, you don't have to but I think it helps, especially if you're as rough about storing your pieces as I am, I toss the stuff everywhere.
The ladder and ramp are pretty straightforward, just build them separately, let them dry and attach later.
As you can see by PHOTO #3 if you build a bunch at once you can end up with a pretty cool play set really quickly and it's always cool to have levels for your figures.

Happy Building!
