Supplies Used: Adhesive, Cardstock or construction paper, Cotton balls or quilt batting, Eye dropper, Seeds

The teacher will die-cut the materials for student use prior to the lesson.

1. To make a planter, die-cut the 3-D cube out of laminated cardstock. Mountain fold on all the perforations.
2. Place adhesive on the side tab, and adhere to the opposite side of the cube.
3. Fold the bottom flaps in, and leave the top flaps open.
4. Place damp cotton balls or quilt batting inside the cube, and sprinkle seeds on the top for a dirtless planter. Keep the cotton balls moist with an eye dropper, and water daily.
5. To make dice, die-cut the 3-D cube out of white cardstock. Mountain fold on all the perforations.
6. Place adhesive on the side tab and adhere to the opposite side of the Cube. Leave the cube flat.
7. Die-cut the Domino dots out of black cardstock. Adhere the dots to the sides of the cube, making sure that each opposite side equals seven.
8. Fold the bottom and top flaps in to complete the cube.
9. To make an octahedron, die-cut two square-base pyramids out of construction paper or cardstock.
10. Mountain fold on all the perforations.
11. Place adhesive on the side tab, and adhere to the opposite side of the pyramid.
12. Adhere the two bases together to form an octahedron.
