Take the tour ×  I really enjoyed making things out of cardboard
as a kid and my daughter (10) loves physical construction as
well. Some of the things I'd like to provide her tools for :
• Easily cutting cardboard    • Connecting Cardboard. I'm
thinking maybe brads.  What would be a good selection of
materials and tools to provide my daughter that would allow her
to make cardboard-based construction projects safely? What level
of supervision would be required given the materials
recommended?  share|improve this question Those are called
brads. :) –  Aarthi Sep 20 '11 at 14:01 Thanks! I could NOT
remember the name. –  Clay Nichols Sep 20 '11 at 14:09 I've
edited the question a bit. Feel free to roll the edits back if
you think the edits deviate from your intent. –  Beofett Sep 20

make joints that can move, like a waving arm or some such. I
used to make hand fans out of cardstock and brads when I was
younger. They wore out fast, though. –  Aarthi
