 The Recyle Bin Challenges

Challenge # 1 
What can you do with an empty toilet paper or paper towel roll?

Robot arms for your cat:
​definitely creative, but not highly recommended. Cats have claws and are highly unpredictable - except this one who will tolerate almost anything except a hat - when he feels like it.
​No cheating. The rolls have to be empty first.

Challenge # 2
What can you do with empty cardboard boxes? 

A mental map.
Build a three dimensional map of your neighbourhood - without going outside- but from what you remember. 
What else can you do with boxes?

Challenge # 3
What can you do with origami or paper folding?

Folded paper sculpture:
​again this particular method is not recommended unless you want all that work riccochetting around your living room.
We want origami and paper sculpture pictures to inspire us all. Use magazines, scrap paper, printer waste.
