Fun Educational Opportunities
Science & Engineering for Kids: Paper Building Blocks - this is a challenge for all grade levels!
Most paper crafts revolve around creating something fancy out of paper, but did you know that you could use paper as a structural material? Our simple paper building blocks are a great way to demonstrate engineering for kids. Take a material that is weak in and of itself, fold it into a robust shape, like a triangle, and viola, you are now building with paper!
