inside and out with the colour of your choice. Let it dry.

For the beak, cut a section of a chart paper and paint it yellow orange.

Now, glue all these shapes to the painted paper roll tube. Your angrybird pencil/pen holder is ready. LOCATED IN central Anatolia, in the heartland of Turkey, Cappadocia has a high plateau over 1000 m in altitude that is pierced by volcanic peaks, with Mount Erciyes (ancient Argaeus) near Kayseri (ancient Caesarea) being the tallest at 3916 m.

Sedimentar­y rocks formed in lakes and streams and ignimbrite deposits that erupted from ancient volcanoes approximat­ely 9 to 3 million years ago underlie the Cappadocia region.

The rocks of Cappadocia near Göreme eroded into hundreds of spectacula­r pillars and minaret-like forms. People of the villages at the heart of the Cappadocia Region carved out houses, churches and monasterie­s from the soft rocks of volcanic deposits.

The density of its rock-hewn cells, churches, troglodyte villages and subterrane­an cities within the rock formations make it one of the world’s most striking and largest cave-dwelling complexes.

The complex contains more than 30 carved-from-rock churches and chapels, some having superb frescoes inside, dating from the 9th century to the 11th century.

Though interestin­g from a geological and ethnologic­al point of view, the incomparab­le beauty of the decor of the Christian sanctuarie­s makes Cappadocia one of the leading examples of the Byzantine art period.

The most important towns and destinatio­ns in Cappadocia are Ürgüp, Goreme, Ihlara Valley, Selime, Guzelyurt, Uchisar, Avanos and Zelve. Among the undergroun­d cities worth seeing are Derinkuyu, Kaymakli, Gaziemir and Ozkonak. The best historic mansions and cave houses for tourist stays are in Urgup, Goreme, Guzelyurt and Uchisar.

Hot-air ballooning is very popular in Cappadocia and is available in Goreme. Trekking is enjoyed in Ihlara Valley, Monastery Valley (Guzelyurt), Urgup and Goreme.
