Abstract
This step-by-step video guide is a helpful introduction showing teachers and parents how to build a bunny using card strips from a template. In this activity the children will learn about 3D structures within a graphical project.
This fun STEM challenge is aimed at primary school children.
Follow this step-by-step guide to make your own bunny using card strips:
Step 1 – Safely cut out all the bunny parts. Fold the ears on the fold line.
Step 2 – Fold the strips in half to create a centre crease for reference. Stick the longer body strips together with a glue stick, in the sequence shown in the presentation.
Step 3 – Stick the body together in the sequence shown in the presentation.
Step 4 – Repeat steps 3 and 4 to make the head. Stick the head to the body.
Step 5 – Stick on the eyes, the nose and the ears.
