Fundamentals of Paper Cup Construction (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692523209)

Welcome to the magnificent world of paper cup construction! In this book, we will explore some of the fundamentals of the amazing art and science of building structures with paper cups. Whether you are a parent looking for an affordable, stimulating toy, a teacher looking for a classroom activity, a manager looking for a team building exercise, or anyone with a sense of curiosity and a playful attitude, this book is perfect for you.Research in developmental psychology has shed light on the types of toys that are most stimulating - that is, those that foster creativity, problem solving, social skills, spatial reasoning, motor skills, etc. It has been found that the best toys are not the ones with big brand labels, lots of accessories, or battery packs. Rather, the best toys for both boys and girls are simple, constructive toys. In all of their extraordinary simplicity, paper cups represent the ideal toy!Above all else, building with paper cups is really fun. For those skeptics out there, this fact has been proven experimentally; when paper cups are introduced to an individual or a crowd, the inevitable result is mirth and joy from youth and adults alike. There is something irresistible about using such a simple and everyday object to create magnificent structures. In fact, knocking them down after they are built is at least half the fun!
