📄 Supplies Needed:

• Printer paper or heavier cardstock
• Scissors
• White or clear school glue

🔢 Instructions:

1. Choose and print your cube set.
Each set has 4 pages (p.1–4). Choose your color or print the white set for kids to decorate. Use heavier paper for sturdy cubes, or glue printed sheets onto cardstock.

2. Cut out each cube.
Trim along the outer edges to form a "T" shape for each cube (see included photo).

3. Crease all lines.
Fold firmly along the black lines and flaps in towards the blank white center so your cube will hold its shape once it's glued.

4. Glue the flaps.
One flap at a time, glue inside the cube walls. Hold each for a few seconds. On the final side, apply glue to multiple flaps and press to close. Add extra glue if needed.

 5. Print and cut the Silly Face Cards.
Use p.1–2 of the face cards. Print one set for group play or more sets so everyone can go at their own pace.
