The first things a child learns are colours, numbers and shapes. How about having all of these on a cube? A practical and amusing way to learn by playing. We will show you how to do it in 4 simple steps.
MATERIALS
APLI cardboard
APLI Color Sticks
APLI stickers
APLI scissors
APLI white glue
A ruler
STEP 1
Draw this figure using a ruler. Each square will measure 12cm x 12cm. Then cut it out and fold at the edges of the squares and the tabs that will be used to stick the sides together.

STEP 4
Apply glue to the tabs. If you find it difficult to make the cube by gluing, you can join the edges with Sellotape to keep the cube together.
