how about playdough? We did something for embryonic stem cells with that in my science class, I’m sure you could use it for mitosis, maybe the playdough for all the different things like organelles and the nucleus but then wire for the spindles cuz that would be difficult to make with playdough

Try googling 3D model mitosis (insert possible material here)

I found:

http://www.biology-online.org/biology-forum/about9340.html

You might be able to work off of what other people have done to make 3D models of cells and then just manipulating the parts once finished, you know?

Good luck.

paper machete? (spelling?)

Styrofoam balls?

maybe place nails on a board in the shape you need and then take string and wrap around the nails to show the splitting and such?

hard project–good luck
