If you want to celebrate the world cup by making something rather than just sitting in front of the TV, or if you want something to keep your fingers busy while watching TV, how about a Settlers themed ball?
Print off two (2!) copies of the above image (left-handers might find it easier to mirror the image first) then cut around the shape and into the tab bits along the black lines. Fit the pieces together using the tabs to connect each piece to every adjacent piece and you'll end up with something like this!
Have fun making balls!
