What are easy and fun crafts to do with a two year old?

You need two pipe cleaners, preferably different colors. You cut each of them in half. Let's say your two pipecleaners were red and blue. You are going to coil a red half and then attatch it to a blue half and you will have a flower. You do the same thing with the other two and then you have two flowers.

How do you make snowflakes?

^there's a video demonstrating how to make a snowflake.

Real snowflakes all have six sides, so the first part of this project involves folding a piece of paper into sixths.

Fold a piece of paper in half. Fold over one side, then the other, to make two 60 degree folds. You can do this by eye, or you can use a protractor. This is a good exercise in geometry and measuring angles. Cut off the edges of the paper in an arc - this makes a circle (if you were to unfold the paper). Cut a lot of the paper away. Unfold your snowflake carefully.

Optional: Decorate your snowflake with glitter or glitter glue.

Glue your snowflake onto a folded piece of construction paper for a great winter card.

How do you make a time capsule?

To make a time capsule, choose a container, select items that represent the present time, write a letter to future discoverers, seal the items in the container, bury it in a safe place with a note detailing when it should be opened in the future.

How do you make a paper cube and can you show me?

take any kind of paper. then cut it into a cross like shape. make sure it looks like a "T"- the bottom is longer than the top. have the "T" facing you upright. fold the top square down. crease it then put it back up. do the same with the two corners. then on the long piece, split it up. half way in, fold and crease. then fold the rest into the middle. unfold everything. now put up the top flap and the left flap so they are touching. tape. then tape the right flap to that. then tape the CLOSEST flap to that. [[since you made the bottom flap 2 flaps tape the one on top]] you should have a open box shape thing now. for your finale step tape the only flap left on top and then you should have a cube! good luck!I hope it works!!

How do you make a paper wasp?

Rip a piece of paper so the width is about 1 in and the length is 3 in. Fold it in half once and then keep folding it about 4-5 times so its skinny then fold it in half again so its hard on the tip. Launch it with a rubber band and make sure its in the shape of a U. Pull back hard. The harder you pull, the farther it will go. Thanks, Kailey

Crafty paper pins?

We need more information before we can answer your question.

If you could fold a piece of paper fifty times would it be higher than Mount Everest?

Theoretically, yes, as each fold would increase the height of the stack by 100%. After 12 folds a paper stack is typically 2 feet high. If you plug this into a formula - and mind you these are my own private calculations and can be wrong - and anticipate 50 folds, the stack would tower 549,755,813,888 feet (104,120,419.3 miles), which would not only dwarf Mount Everest (29,029 ft) but exceed the circumference of the Earth itself (24,901.55 miles) by several times.

As a point of interest, the current world record for folding a piece of paper of any size consecutively in half is only 12 times.

Can Star Apple be used as glue?

If you are referring the South American fruit, than there does not seem to be much evidence that it is used as glue or an ingredient in a glue formula. As with most any fruit, the juice is sticky and if applied on paper will cause it to stick together upon drying, although using fruit juice as an adherent usually makes for sloppy presentation and causes damage to the paper and any images thereon.

How do you make a jack in the box?

That shouldn't be too hard.

A box with a hinged door on the top. Put Jack on a spring and affix it to the bottom inside of the box. Attatch a crank opperated music box. Add an arm that would release a latch on the door when it hits a certain point in the song. The door itself would be opened by Jack's mighty kinetic energy once the door is no longer holding him back.

Thats how you do it!!!!!!!!!!

How do you make a paper sphere?

http://www.quadibloc.com/maps/mpol05.htm has a nice picture of a polyconic projection.

You choose a rectangle that is twice as wide as it is tall.

Divide the wide side into six sections.

Draw six arc sections that just touch in the middle.

Mark an extra edge on one side of the arcs so there will be some overlap to glue.

Cut out, remembering to leave the arcs connected as well as the tabs.

Even if you don't get the arcs perfect, you will end up with a quite nice ball!

This is how paper hot air balloon kits from the 1970s were assembled, so there shouldn't be any patent issues.
