There are two materials we use in STEM class every day. Cardboard and masking tape.

Mind you, the cardboard can be card stock or brown cardboard or even foam board. The masking tape is a heavy-duty, very sticky brand that works well. We prefer thin tape.

I created models of 12 different cardboard techniques to use as a reference when students need an idea. The backing is a piece of white foam board (buy this at the Dollar Tree). I created all the attaching models and hot glued them to my foam board. I want them to stay in place! The labels are just an easy-to-read font printed on Astrobright’s paper. My poster has a larger matching title: Cardboard Attaching Techniques. Finally, I hot glued it to my wall – low enough for kids to see it and make use of it!
