Earth Stack and Turn Puzzle
Stacking circles of cardboard form a layered Earth that the kid rotates and aligns. A self-correcting puzzle.
How to do it
- 1
Cut several cardboard circles in different sizes.
- 2
Stack them largest to smallest and draw the Earth across all of them at once.
- 3
Cut a small circle through the center of each cardboard piece.
- 4
Glue smaller circle plugs together so the cardboard rings can stack and rotate around them.
- 5
Let the kid stack and turn the rings until the Earth design lines up.
