UP’s Cranky Carl’s Been Cubed

I’m endlessly devoted to CubeeCraft, a sort of origami for the internet generation that costs no more than the paper you print their ridiculously cute creatures on.

They’ve Barack’d the cube, and now it’s Cranky Carl Fredricksen from the Disney hit UP (which, believe it or not, I have yet to see with my tot – but I’m getting rave reviews from the under six-set) who’s been cubed.

The old man – voiced by Ed Asner – who takes off with his house on an adventure, only to find out he’s got a stow-away, can now be made with a little folding and clipping.

So how does it work? Print out their funky diagram, follow the directions and set to work. It’s a free way to stave off a few more moments of “I’m bored” before school starts again, thanks to the geniuses at CubeeCraft. So get Carl Fredricksen here, and stock up on cardstock at Buy.com for making him. It’s $9.99 for a 100-count set of 110 lb. cardstock, which will keep make your cube stand up better.
