Paper models for polyhedra

Have you ever wanted to fold a pyramid or some of the other interesting polyhedron out of paper?

At least, take a look at the pictures! www.korthalsaltes.com provides hundreds of free printable paper models for various solids, including platonic solids, pyramids, and lots of polyhedra. Some are available as colored versions also.

Folding and gluing one or two is a great summer math project also, and will keep kids busy for a while.
