Paper Construction

Together with your child, you can make the cubes yourself. Cut strips three centimeters wide from thick paper. Their length should be different - thirty-two, twenty and sixteen centimeters. Fold each strip four times (in half once and in half again). Then fold the paper at the folds to form a cube. Secure the edges of each cube with masking tape. Now you know how to make building material. Your son or daughter will love building these lightweight, easy-to-use bricks into 2- and 3-D designs. In order to make the basis for a future structure, you must first attach one or two cubes with adhesive tape to a sheet of paper. Then place other cubes on top and next to each other and secure them together. In this way, children create skyscrapers, human figures and various abstract compositions.
