In this picture
A kitten peeks out of an open cardboard box with both front paws resting on the near flap. The pointed ears rise above the back edge, and an upright tail appears at the right. Wide flaps spread to either side of the box. Straight folds in the cardboard contrast with the kitten's fluffy cheek outline.

Is this the page for you?
- easy difficulty
- Broad rectangular box faces surround one large head; the flap intersections require a little edge control.
- Skills to try
- Separating front and back planes: The near flap crosses in front of the paws while side flaps angle away.
- Suggested age: About 5–7 years
- The box offers easy flat fills, and the corners provide a gentle next step in accuracy. This is a suggestion; comfort with the shapes matters more than age.
