How to Assemble a Pyramid

Building a pyramid can be a fun and creative project! Let’s go through the steps together. You can use materials like cardboard, paper, or blocks. Here’s how to do it!

What You Need:

• Cardboard or thick paper
• Scissors
• Glue or tape
• Ruler
• Pencil

Steps to Build Your Pyramid:

1. Prepare Your Base: Start by cutting a square from your cardboard. This will be the bottom of your pyramid. A good size is about 10x10 inches.
2. Measure the Triangle Sides: To make the triangle sides of the pyramid, you need to cut 4 triangles. Each triangle should have a base of 10 inches (the same as your square) and a height of about 8 inches.
3. Draw Your Triangles: Using the ruler, draw one triangle on the cardboard. Then cut it out. Use this triangle as a template to cut out the other three triangles.
4. Assemble the Sides: Take one triangle and attach it to one side of the square base using glue or tape. Hold it until it sticks well.
5. Continue Adding Triangles: Now, take the next triangle and attach it to the next side of the square. Do the same for the last two triangles, so all sides are built up.
6. Close the Pyramid: Once all four triangles are attached, bring the tops of the triangles together to form the peak of your pyramid. Secure them with glue or tape.

Decorate Your Pyramid:

Now that your pyramid is built, you can decorate it! Use markers, stickers, or paint to make it colorful!
