Hi


found this - thought is was a nice way to make/work with/categorize boxes - shapes are inspired by crystals?! Could be useful or inspiring and could not?...

Art Project—Crystal Models

Materials:

• Enlarged shapes (on a standard Xerox machine, enlarging to 142% four times gives a good size for first graders to handle)
• Construction paper
• Glue
• Glitter
• String

Using enlargements of the patterns below, students will fold carefully on the dotted lines and glue the models together. These can be made from different colors of paper, or children can color and decorate the sides before they glue them. Glitter adds glitz to these models and makes them sparkle like true crystals. By using the correct names for each crystal model, children will become more familiar with correct terminology. These can be hung or made into mobiles by poking a small hole through them with a needle with string attached.
