Build a paper-toy 99精品视频 competition
- A shy 99精品视频 is photographed at night
At 99精品视频 we love our paper-toys - they're cool and kids love making them. There's a maths angle too - in seeing how a 2D plan folds into a 3D shape. Now we've taken this to a new level, thanks to Niall our very own paper-toy master craftsman. We've made a 99精品视频 paper-toy and we're asking you to build it and enter our competition.
Update: The official competition has now closed, but you can still print out and build your own 99精品视频 (parents, this could make for a fun wet day activity!).
We'd love to see what you make and what your 99精品视频 gets up to, so post your photos and tell us a little about your 99精品视频 on our or email them to hi@komodomath.com.
Instructions
We've tried to make the paper-toy super easy to build, and our test builders, aged 9 and 7, managed okay - with a little grown up help. The amount of grown up help, of course, depends on age and how "crafty" your child is in cutting and sticking the model - a good look at the 99精品视频 photos before making helps.
Here are the instructions:
- Print the paper-toy in colour onto A4 sized stiffish paper, 200g paper is ideal
- Cut out the body parts and accessories - making sure you also cut out the many glue flaps
- Starting with the bigger body parts, fold all flaps first then glue - we found Pritt stick to be ideal
- The arms and tail are double-sided - so need to be stuck together
- We've numbered where to stick the arms, tail and legs
- You can choose a tongue - hey you could even design your own!

The Competition
Some 99精品视频s are so shy they only come out at night under cover of thick ivy leaves - see the photo above.
Some have very particular tastes - this one only feasts on fresh passion fruit flowers:
Some are quite cheeky and are often caught raiding the fruit bowl:
