Foldable Thor's hammer template

Glue worked well for each side but putting them together required tape. Hot glued a toilet paper tube on to it for a handle - or even better, a paper towel tube.

Yggdrasil - 3D Norse world tree

Using 2 paper plates, 2 paper cups and a few online templates this worked pretty well to make a 3d version of the Norse mythology world tree Yggdrasil. I used this image for reference https://i.pinimg.com/originals/90/76/b4/9076b46b396168bed1d33195a2e6977c.jpg 1) First paint one plate to have a green ring around the outisde (Jormungundur - the midgard snake who holds in the oceans on the "flat earth"). Blue water inside of that and brown in the center - land (Midgard). After it is dry, they can go over it with sharpie and make the green ring look more like a snake eating its own tail. 2) On the other plate I cut down a paper length strip of just the castle from this coloring page of Windsor castle. I wrapped it in a ring and glued one end to itself. Then folded the space under the castle out so we could tape/glue it to the plate (Asgard). https://www.justcolor.net/history/royal-kings-and-queens/?image=kings-and-queens__coloring-windsor-casle-great-britain__1 3) Paint th
