Crafts for home from cocktail tubes

Making home accessories further, move on to the flower. Roll a ball out of plasticine, pierce one side of it with a long cocktail straw. Create petals from the same material by cutting the tubes into smaller ones, 5–7 cm in size. Cut the upper parts of these blanks with fringes, and insert the lower parts into the ball, as tightly as possible to each other, to make a lush flower.

In the same way, fasten the third to the first.
In the same technique, make three more triangles. Connect them with tape so that the fourth triangle is the base of the pyramid, and the other three are its faces.
Tell your child that such a regular triangular pyramid is called a tetrahedron.
