Our series of Art at Home resources continues with a playful sculpture activity that explores maths and science.
The challenge
Using paper straws and pipe cleaners, you'll build geometric sculptures inspired by the 'Platonic Solids' - 5 special shapes which are important in maths and science, then create your own shapes and structures once you've mastered the technique.
