Classroom Considerations
- Be aware that manual dexterity is required for cutting, folding, and gluing the small tabs, making this not a good fit for younger students or those with special needs
- Additionally, consider making clear tape available as holding tabs in place while waiting for glue to dry would be unnecessarily time consuming
Pros
- Very detailed and pleasantly colorful
- Step-by-step instructions and diagrams help make construction clear
Cons
- None
