In this beautiful activity from two loops of square you make a square. Take two strips of paper 20-cm long and 3-cm wide. Apply glue at the end of one strip and stick it to the other end to make a loop. Apply glue on the other strip end and stick it at right angles to the first loop. Now you will have two circular loops attached to each other at right angles. Flatten one loop and cut it right both its layers right in the middle. On opening you will be surprised to see the shape of a handcuff – a long strip with two circular loops at its ends. Once again cut this strip along its midline. On separating it you will be surprised to see a regular square. In a variation stick two loops of unequal lengths. On cutting them as before you will now see a rectangle.
