Today's Tray a Day activity is making cardboard sculptures. These are very easy; you just need cardboard, scissors, and maybe some felt-tip pens to decorate.
The cardboard segments can be used over and over again, too!
I cut the cardboard into rough square shapes, made one or two small cuts up the sides of each piece, and left the kids with it.
What do you think? We especially enjoyed making the robot.
After making small models, we thought we'd go large! We tried to recreate the small model above, but it was a bit tricky. Next time, I think we'll try to build upwards.
