I prompted my kids with the problem of needing to build a Thanksgiving table for their family because the one we have isn't big enough! The question was: Who can build a Thanksgiving table that can hold the most weight? They were given 5 pieces of white paper, 6 inches of masking tape and told to go to work. At first I got a few looks of confusion on how they were going to make a table that could hold "food" AKA books up. After about 30 minutes of thinking and building we had our "competition". The kids were amazed to see how successful their tables were. Who would have thought you could build a table that strong out of paper?!?!
This table held 82 chapter books! Wow!
This was so much fun!
Looks like fun! I see your picture has lots more than 5 pieces of paper. Did you combine groups, change criteria? Just curious the process that you followed that ended with the pic you show.
ReplyDeleteThat's not more than 5 papers. They cut them and only used a total of 5.
DeleteLove this idea. What kind of paper did you use?
