Paper Sculptures

Play and make sculpture at the same time! Using strips of paper, kids are encouraged to fold, bend, twist and curl them into awesome architectural delights.⁠

⁠

DIRECTIONS:⁠

⁠

  1. Cut a bunch of colored paper into strips with varying lengths and widths.⁠

⁠

  1. Begin by creating a shape with a strip and gluing it to a piece of cardboard or whole piece of construction paper as your base.

⁠

  1. Working from that first shape, begin building out and up with your sculpture. Try to do something different to each strip of paper: fold, bend, twist, curl, loop – what other ways can you manipulate it?
