How to make a circle from a square

Did you know you can make a circle from a square by folding and making a couple of tiny cuts?

Once you've got the hang of the process try it again using bigger and smaller squares.

Materials

Square sheet of paper

Scissors

Instructions

First fold your sheet of square paper in half and then in half again the other way.

Fold it in half again to make a triangle.

Next, fold over again so it looks like the below.

Cut off the top.

Open up and neaten up the top so there's no point in the middle.

Open up your ( almost ) perfect circle! What do you think?
