This was a good snow-day activity: making a geodesic dome from tubes rolled from newspaper. Here's a few pics from various stages. The kids loved it, and I've done it for several family math events since. You can get directions from Jill Britton's website here. You'll need to scale the size of the tubes to match with the size newspaper in your country. I'd recommend rolling two sheets of paper together with each tube for strength.
