Last year, I heard about the Sea Princesses TV cartoon for the first time.
What was my surprise when, digging the internet about this show, I found that its creator is the Brazilian (just like me!) Fabio Yabu.
I contacted him and asked some pics of his princesses, so I could design and build them in paper. So here is the first one - Polvina, the octopus princess. Comming next: Tubarina and Estér.
You can download her from the Sea Princesses page.
Hope you enjoy her!

Well, I finally finish it!
Before posting it here, I took my model to a science fair and it was a hit! Many children (and their parents!) loved the model and are waiting for this post.
Now, you can also download it and view more photos at Speed Racer page

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.
