Cinderella Castle play set

Apr4

My wife and I designed and built this castle so MaLu (our daughter) can play with her Polly Pocket princesses. We based our design on Disney Store’s Cinderella Castle Play Set.


We had to upscale the original one, so it could fit Polly Pocket dolls.

Pay special attention on the first picture. MaLu helped us reinforcing paper with card stock and paper towel.

This model is not available for download! If you want to build yours, please e-mail me so I can send you download the original PDO file Sorry, no instructions…

You’ll also need Pepakura Viewer do open and print PDO files.

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.
