Paper plate polyhedron – say that 5 times fast 😉 Welcome to paper plate themed week! Today’s project is simple (as usual) but fun and you may want to make more than one of these polyhedrons.
Start with paper plates – just the cheap ones are fine!
Fold the plate’s edges into a triangle.
You can fold 20 plates ahead of time or fold as you go. Start by stapling 2 plates together (tape on the edges, glue or paper clips would work too) along the edge of the paper plate
Repeat using this pattern until you’ve used 10 plates.
Then join the two ends together.
Next, make the “ends” by stapling 5 plates together with all 5 points facing the same direction to create a dome shape.
You’ll make 2 of these and then add to the top and bottom of the first piece you joined together.
You can hang several up for decoration or just play with it like my boys (just be careful if you used staples and watch out for paper cuts).
We are in the second week of Summer Camp Matherial Themed Weeks! This week is paper plate week where we’ll share an activity using paper plates each day. If you have an activitiy please share it here or on our Facebook page! We’ll try and do a round up at the end of each week.
