Ask someone if they can cut out a regular size piece of paper so they can put their body through it? The paper has to be in one piece and can not use anything to hold it together. Then tell them you can do this after they can not do it.
Go to the link below for the print out of the Walk Through Paper. Cut out on the lines. Make sure only to cut the 6 pieces on the folded part in the middle, Do NOT cut the ends. Then unfold and you will be able to walk through the paper.

in 3rd grade my teacher had her father come in and show this to the class, it was actually a profound lesson that encouraged me and many other classmates to think outside the box for the rest of our lives. if you encourage that mindset while teaching this to children, it can teach them much much more than just a simple trick

[@KidsFunScience]

Good Morning @trevorfichtner3539, That is awesome that you learned this in 3rd grade. I agree this teaches children much more than just a trick. Thanks for watching and your comments. Thx Ken

[@dreamer9080]

This was so much help fuller then the others the others where sped up and I'm more of a visual learner so this helped A LOT

[@KidsFunScience]

Hi Dreamer, I’m glad and it’s a lot of fun. Thanks Ken

Good Morning rituparna deka, Thank you very much Ken

[@IvetteCerda]

Hello! Student teacher here. I love this experiment. Where could I find content about the science behind this "trick"? or the science content background. Thank you in advance.

[@KidsFunScience]

Good Morning @lvetteCerda, The walk through paper is more of a Mathematical concept. By cutting a long continuous maze like path in the paper, you have created “hole” that is apparently larger than the paper itself. We know that multiple rectangles can have the same area, yet their perimeter will be different. For example, a rectangle of 10 x 20 cm has an area of 200 cm and a perimeter of 60 cm. Similarly, a rectangle of 1 x 200 cm has the same area of 200 cm but a perimeter of 402 cm. Using the same concept, you have created a loop that is big enough for you to walk through. The area of the sheet of paper remained the same throughout the activity - the size of the paper was not changed at all because none of the cuts went all the way across the paper The original paper perimeter did not allow you to cut a hole that would be large enough to fit through. However, a new and much longer perimeter is created by cutting slits back and forth in the folded paper. The length of this perimeter is limited to how narrow a slit can be cut. The narrower the slits, the longer the perimeter, and the bigger the hole. By making all of these cuts, essentially you’re making one rectangular piece of paper into a long narrow strip that is still connected at its two ends. Even though the area of your piece of paper has not changed, you’ve now increased the perimeter of the shape that you’re trying to step through. This gives a person plenty of room to pass through. I hope this helps thanks Ken

[@IvetteCerda]

@@KidsFunScience thank you for your answer and the info. It was really useful.

[@GospelConjurer-sc9yr]

@@IvetteCerda actually the point you make while doing this is why conservation is so important. The first time you show the size of the hole, small! Now show them the size of the paper you wasted making the hole. You will never have a big enough hole if you waste that much paper. Now show the other way, where you don't waste any paper. Now look how big the whole is. Don Herbert (Mr. Wizard) himself taught that to me, and I performed it at science programs in schools all across the US.

thankyou so much......it was my activity for class 😆 😂 🤣

[@KidsFunScience]

Good Morning Alina Susan, yw and hope it went well. thanks Ken

[@mghaynes24]

Same

[@YuvrajSingh-hp7ig]

I am curious to know why it works? Is it because we convert the paper's surface area into its border? Like let's say we had a paper of the dimensions 30x20. Now if I am being very precise in cutting, we could convert this area into 20cm of breadth and 280cm of length(I'm not sure here, but I think that the breadth will remain same) and 2.8m is wide for anyone to pass through. Please let me know if my thinking is correct or nah :)

Good Morning Yuvraj from California, By cutting a long continuous maze like path in the paper, you have created a “hole” that is apparently larger than the paper itself. We know that multiple rectangles can have the same area, yet their perimeter will be different. For example, a rectangle of 10 x 20 cm has an area of 200 cm and a perimeter of 60 cm.

The narrower the slits, the longer the perimeter, and the bigger the hole. I have done it with an index card and was able to walk through. As stated above the narrower the slits, the longer the perimeter and bigger the hole. I hope this answers your question and thank you for watching. Ken

Good Morning Arsh, your welcome. You can also try this with a index card. thanks Ken

[@monikam7333]

I have liked this activity but how should I introduce this in my class,what should I tell them....means what is it going to fullfill in their life ... please help me to connect

[@KidsFunScience]

Hi MONIKA M, Well first I not sure what you teach, so a little hard on how to introduce this to your class if it was spanish. : ) But if you teach math, then this is how i would introduce it. A shape can sometimes be deceiving! Topology is the mathematical study of shapes and spaces. Topology involves looking at the shapes that result through stretching, transforming, deforming, folding and twisting. This clever mathematical trick makes a giant loop out of a single piece of paper. All you need is a pair of scissors. Have you ever wondered if you can cut a 8” x 11” sheet of paper wide enough so that you can walk through it. Give it a try and see if you can figure it out. You might need to use some mathematical skills and think outside the box. This is a very interesting activity to teach the concept of area and perimeter properties of a rectangle. We know that multiple rectangles can have the same area, yet their perimeter will be different. For example, a rectangle of 10 x 20 cm has an area of 200 cm and a perimeter of 60 cm. Similarly, a rectangle of 1 x 200 cm has the same area of 200 cm but a perimeter of 402 cm. Using the same concept, you have created a loop that is big enough for you to walk through. The area of the sheet of paper remained the same throughout the activity - the size of the paper was not changed at all because none of the cuts went all the way across the paper. I hope this helps Thanks for watching

Thanks ,as u asked I teach English to primary kids but still I did this activity with them.

[@imagamerforlife1902]

How do you have all the other links blue and accessible but not the cut out one?😕

[@KidsFunScience]

Good Morning imagamerforlife, I guess I needed to add so I did. Thank you for pointing this out. Take a look again as its blue now. thank you Ken

[@dannyrichards6233]

Nice

[@jemmarobertson8070]

cool

[@KidsFunScience]

Good Morning Jenna, yes it is. Also you can try this with a index card which is more impressive. Thanks for watching.

[@wonderwoman3966]

You don’t cut the lines all the way through, you stop about half an inch from the end otherwise you will just have strips.

[@KidsFunScience]

Good Morning Wonderwoman, You are Correct. thanks for watching

Morning Jussi Pelaa, This is just showing you how to enlarge a hole in a piece a paper by cutting it, where if you just cut a hole in the middle you could not fit in it.

[@Ben-pt7fn]

Not meant to fold

[@shayanpallo5020]

Well what do you know it didn’t work

[@KidsFunScience]

Hi Shayan, drawing the lines and making the right cuts can make it work or not. When I do this with students we always have a couple that draw the lines wrong or cut wrong. If you want to take a pictures and send it to me I can see what I can suggest. I would like to help you get it to work. Thanks Ken

[@shayanpallo5020]

You had the time to write that

Sorry not fake. Please email a video of you trying it so I can see what you are doing. I should be able to help you get it to work. Thx Ken
