Have you ever tried to make a 3D version? It’s amazing! I would recommend criss-crossing though, because the glue doesn’t hold together as well without a little support.

I actually really like the 2D version. I’m going to do this activity with my day home this week. Thanks for the great idea!
I agree with Ursula, the 2D version would be better to do with smaller kids. I am going to do this with my kids as soon as we get back from our trip across the country. I luckily have an internet connection right now, but its been a little spotty. My husband Avi and I have used your blog to find some good ideas to keep the kids busy.. thanks again!
Such a fun and creative way to spend time with my daughter. We are always looking for new craft ideas with easy to use supplies.
This is a really great activity for your children. This would teach them to be creative. This activity would also let you see how creative your children is. Thanks for sharing this.
