Haciendo un cubo interactivo (ESP/ENG)

Realizar en la cartulina la figura del cubo con ayuda de la regla para que queden los lados todos iguales. Yo lo hice de 5 x 5 cms, cuidando dejar las pestañas en los bordes para poderlos pegar cuando cerrara cada cubo.

Saqué un molde que luego fui copiando hasta tener los 8 cubos, pero puede hacerse con menos cantidad, siempre y cuando sea en número par y más de dos cubos.

Cada cubo se debe pintar o colocarle las cartulinas de colores o pegatinas, siguiendo un mismo patrón de orden, de manera que coincidan al armarlo.

Cerrar cada cubo y pegar las orillas cuidadosamente para darles la forma correcta y que queden todos del mismo ancho. Como mi cartulina no era muy gruesa, coloqué pedazos de la misma, pero más pequeños, por la parte de adentro, para reforzarlos un poco. Dejarlos secar.

Cuando estén secos colocarlos según el color (deben coincidir el de arriba y los de los lados) unirlos con una liga para que no se muevan y luego pegarlos con la cinta adhesiva de acuerdo con el siguiente patrón.

1.- Los dos últimos de la derecha en vertical y luego los últimos de la izquierda en vertical.
2.- Los dos centrales del primer lado.
3.-Los dos últimos de la derecha en horizontal y luego los últimos de la izquierda en horizontal.
4.- Los dos centrales del cuarto lado.

Una vez colocada la cinta en cada lado, se quita la liga con cuidado y listo! ya tendrás un cubo interactivo para colocar como adorno en alguna repisa o un juguete para entretener a tus hijos por un buen tiempo.

Espero les haya gustado la idea y gracias por llegar hasta el final de este post. Realmente para mi fue toda una odisea poder hacerlo, pero lo mejor fue que a mi hijo le gustó no solo verlo terminado, sino que hayamos hecho el trabajo en equipo

Hello to all the creatives in this community. I really want to start by telling you my admiration not only for the things you are able to do and share, but also for the patience and level of detail you show in your creations.

I am, particularly, only an observer and consumer of what others do masterfully, because I feel that although they look beautiful in my head, the results may be worthy of going straight to the trash.

But this time I had to put my hands in the scissors and the cardboard, to make this interactive cube that my younger son insisted I make with him since he saw it in a YouTube video.

The nice thing about this cube is that it can be made with colors, but also with photographs that are only assembled when you place them in a particular order.

And the best part is that you can make them with few materials. Let's see

2 white cardboards
6 different colors or markers (they can also be cardboard or stickers)
Scissors
Bar paste
Rule
Graphite pencil
Adhesive tape

Make the cube figure on the cardboard with the help of the rule so that the sides are all the same. I did it 5 x 5 cm, taking care to leave the tabs on the edges to be able to paste them when I closed each cube.

I took out a mold that I later copied until I had 8 cubes, but it can be done with less quantity, always and when it is in even number and more than two cubes.

Each cube must be painted or placed with the cardboard colors or stickers, following the same order pattern, so that they match when assembling it.

Close each cube and carefully glue the edges to give them the correct shape and that they are all the same width. As my cardboard was not very thick, I placed smaller pieces of it inside to reinforce it a little. Let them dry.

When they are dry, place them according to the color (the top and the sides must match) join them with a ribbon so that they do not move and then glue them with the adhesive tape according to the following pattern.

1.- The last two on the right in vertical and then the last ones on the left in vertical.
2.- The two central ones of the first side.
3.-The last two on the right in horizontal and then the last ones on the left in horizontal.
4.- The two central ones of the fourth side.

Once the tape is placed on each side, carefully remove the ribbon and ready! you will have an interactive cube to place as an ornament on a shelf or a toy to entertain your children for a long time.

I hope you liked the idea and thank you for reaching the end of this post. It was a real odyssey for me to do it, but the best thing was that my son liked not only to see it finished, but also that we had done the work as a team.
