Choose your building blocks

Start with a rounded form, cone, hollow tube, flat panel, leaf, or another reusable construction. Keep the optional animal and hand lessons as starting points.

Shape and connect

Change width and length, try a tapered profile, duplicate pieces, and record where to sew them together in the 3D workspace.

Read and make a sample
