Build Your Own Solar Oven!
Summer’s not over yet! With this printable pattern, you can turn cardboard into a working solar oven and see the power of the sun in action. We'll email you a PDF with a pattern template that you can print out at home, glue onto cardboard, and start building. Use it again and again whenever you want a fun project (or a snack)!
What’s Inside:
-
Printable pattern pieces
-
A guide to slot-based construction + layered assembly
-
Step-by-step video instructions (linked here)
What You’ll Need:
-
Cardboard
-
Tinfoil
-
Double-sided tape (or glue)
-
Masking tape
-
Plastic wrap (or a clear bag)
-
(Optional) Black marker or paint
- Goodies to melt! (crayons, s'mores, nachos, mini-pizzas!)
Reminders, you'll need direct sunlight for the solar oven to work and small, thin portions will always melt or cook faster. This project will work in the winter on a sunny day, but expect your cook times may be longer!

Frequently Asked Questions
Check out our pattern guide to understand what each symbol means!
We color-code our patterns to show what to do with each piece, so printing on color will work best. But if colored ink isn't available to you, just watch each pattern's instruction video to see what to do!
A standard gluestick will work! Make sure to really glue down the edges of each piece for the best results once you're cutting.
