If you are stuck at home and are trying to think of fun activities for you children, this could be something fun to do!
This can be either a song ball and activity ball — it can be anything you wish it to be. For library purposes we use it as a song ball. Throwing it up in the air and choosing a song this way is super fun.
Materials:
Dodecahedron. This can be purchase at the dollar store, or you can click here for a printable version of it.
Markers
Scissors
Pencil
Glue dots (glue gun)
Ruler
Tool for scoring or a knitting needle (the tip is helpful to score the paper)
Step 1:
Take out the shapes and cut along the scissor line. Afterward, use a scoring tool (if you don’t have one you can use a knitting needle) to score along the dotted lines. (The shape to the right is what your shape should look like.)
You should have 12 in total.
Step 2:
Pick your songs and start writing them down on the cut shapes. You can draw pictures or you can print, cut, and then glue them in.
Step 3:
Once they are finished they should look something like this:
Step 4:
Start gluing them. First you want to glue them together to make a 5 petal flower.
Step 5:
Once you have made both flowers you are going to start making a half-ball shape.
This is how they should look like now they have been glued:
Step 6:
Glue halves together.
And you are FINISHED!
ENJOY!
