Crescent Moon & Star

-

 

A blue crescent moon and a yellow five pointed star made out of card

A quick make for Ramadan.
The star instructions are here folded from a 14cm square and I used the Moon instructions from here, and used a piece of card but converted to cm using 9cm radius, 6.75cm radius and 7.5 cm radius.
There's a nice opportunity for construction/loci to find the centre of the crease circle when doing the moon.  In creating a star, you first fold to make and cut a pentagon.

Columbus Cubes

      Columbus Cubes are one of my favourite.  Quite satisfying to make and stack.  I keep meaning to do more with them.  I found these in a book by David Mitchell (his website  is well worth a visit!)  His page about the Columbus cubes is here .  There is also a video on YouTube on how to make them  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u-1a1UFj_k .  There's even a kusudama  to make with them.  That's on the list to do in the future . It has now been done .
