A day in suburbia with this housewife, her hubby, two kids and things that go BOOM.

Stand back. This sucker's gonna blow.

Geometry

An icosahedron (eye·co·sa·HEE·dron) is a polyhedron having 20 faces.

Yeah, I didn't know that either.


But it certainly is fun to make!

(Oddly, it reminds me of the Ikea light fixture hanging in our kitchen, although this was much easier to put together.)

  1. And my greek husband pointed out it comes from the Greek route word "Eequocee" meaning 20 and hedi meaning face-

    That's pretty cool. I want my kids to do crafts with yours!
