DIY Geoboard
Make shapes, letters or fun designs with cardboard and rubber bands.
Materials
Directions
Glue three cardboard squares together, one on top of the other.
Poke nine holes with scissors in the three remaining cardboard squares. Tip: To make sure the holes line up, stack the cardboard squares and then poke the holes through all three layers. Try to make them equidistant from one another, about 50 mm apart.
Glue the six layers of cardboard together, then glue the wooden dowels in the holes of the top cardboard pieces.
Once the glue is dry, experiment creating shapes, letters or fun designs with different colored rubber bands! What shapes will your child make?
