Creating a Google Cardboard DIY for kids is a fun and easy virtual reality craft project that blends creativity with technology, perfect for sparking excitement and learning. Using simple materials like corrugated cardboard, two 45mm biconvex lenses, Velcro strips, a rubber band, and a printed template from Google’s VR site, kids can cut, fold, and assemble their own VR viewer in 1-2 hours. With adult supervision for tools like scissors or an X-Acto knife, children glue the template to cardboard, cut along designated lines, fold to form the viewer, and insert lenses for immersive visuals. Adding Velcro secures the smartphone (4-6 inch screens work best), while optional conductive tape creates a touch button. Kids can decorate with stickers or paint for a personal touch, then use the Google Cardboard app to explore VR games, tours, or videos like Google Earth
