As you can see in the pictures, I Followed the same steps and technique as for the 3D prisms.

This 3D activity attracted completely my children for about a whole hour!

These structures leave children explore their vision and their creativity. I only demonstrated the technique insisting on the fact that a structure/building has to balance itself in order to stand up, otherwise it collapses. Then, I let them free to create their own balancing structures.

We all know how difficult is to ‘teach’ the 3D shapes to young children. In time, I discovered a way to do it, actually to ‘watch’ it as the children will create their own 3D shapes so that they understand the difference between them and the 2D ones.
