This is similar to "high Tower". However, the supplies that the child has available are different. In this activity, The "builder" will only have 4 pieces of 8 1/2 x 11 white paper , 5 paper clips, one pair of scissors, and 10 inches of scotch tape. They may cut, bend, tear, twist, tape, or clip the paper in any way they want, but these are the only supplies they may use. One additional material is required. A yard/meter stick is used for measuring, but may not be part of the structure.


The goal is to build the highest tower they can. It must be free-standing. The tower may not lean on any structure/object, and may not be held up by a human.
