Episode 128 - Practice Makes Perfect
Segment #1 - 3D Cardboard
Activity - 3D Cardboard
These are the basic instructions for creating a 3-D cardboard cactus. Your 3-D cardboard projects can keep growing. Make flowers to decorate a window, a tree to use in a child’s room or to hang family photos for a family reunion, and a playhouse from a refrigerator box for even bigger fun.
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
- Cardboard
- Pencil
- Mitten
- Clay pot
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Acrylic or tempera paint
- Paint brush
LET'S GET STARTED:
- Have your child wear a mitten and place hand on the cardboard. Trace around the mitten to create a cactus shape. Place a clay pot at the bottom of the cactus and trace. Cut out the drawing. (An adult may need to help with cutting.)
- Trace the original onto another piece of cardboard and cut out the second shape. Color or paint both sides of each cutout, making them look as similar as possible.
- Mark the center point on each cutout. On one piece, cut a slit starting at the top of the cactus and going down to that mark. On the other, cut a slit from the bottom of the cactus going up to the mark. Slide one piece into the other.
Note: To reinforce the larger structures like the tree and playhouse, make a cardboard triangle, score it and attach near the top where the 2 pieces meet using brass fasteners. OTHER ACTIVITIES FROM THIS EPISODE:
