Disney printables

Jul6

I’ve searching around the net for paper dolls.

Those ones little girls cut and can change clothes. I was specially looking for Disney Princesses paper dolls.

I’ve found some – including a a nice book to buy, but the real treasure I’ve found is the Disney printables from Disney Family. Lots of easy-to-build-yet-awesome models.

Downloaded all of them! Enjoy.

Children are awesome

Oct12

This year, I was blessed with the opportunity to teach geometric solids for 2nd grade children at the same school my daughter studies.

They are about forty 7/8yo children that surprise each time I was among them! I encouraged them to watch some buildings on the streets so they could design and assemble a city with paper models using only the solids we’ve learned together – spheres, cones, prisms, pyramids, cylinders, rectangular solids, and cubes.


This small city they created was exhibited at the school’s Science Fair and it was used as part of a lighting pollution experiment. In order to make me completely happy, the school invited me to exhibit all my paper models and to provide a paper model workshop at the Fair.

Feedback was beyond my best expectations.

Papercraft World Records

Jun19

David Webber, the Community Manager of the Universal Record Database (URDB.org), told me about this website and some amazing records they have there.

You’ll get a greater sense if you check out the site, but they gathered a few papercraft related records. Here are a few highlights:

  • Largest Origami Cube
  • Widest Duct Tape Flower
  • Shortest Greeting Card Collection
  • Most Paper Airplanes Stuck In Hair At Once
  • Most Paper Airplanes Constructed And Flown In One Minute
  • Slowest Time For Cardboard Box Parachute To Descend 15 Feet

So what? Can you beat them???
