Games with paper tetrahedrons


We downloaded a template of a tetrahedron from the internet. A tetrahedron is a symmetrical 3D shape made up of 4 identical triangles.  We produced 11 of them.  Our tetrahedrons attract each other by having magnets glued inside them.  They will therefore also stick to a steel base.  We made use of that when we went outdoors and played a fun game: throwing the tetrahedrons onto a steel target plate.  They didn't always stick! 







When we got home we combined our tetrahedrons into a mobile.
