Suse MacDonald's
Nanta's Lion Class Pop-Up Cards

The students can draw an African animal or a picture of themselves on a small piece of paper (approx. 3" square).

Fold two separate 81/2 X 11 sheets of paper in half. Put one paper aside. On the folded edge of the other paper, mark two dots, each one 3 3/4 inches from the ends. Starting at each dot, cut in towards the middle one inch. Fold the cut strip forward and then back to its original position.

1. Open the card slightly and push forward the pop-up center piece as shown.

2. Each student should glue the picture they have drawn to the pop-up part of the page then write descriptive words about the animal or themselves along the sides.

3. Take the paper which was set aside and glue it on to the back of the pop-up page (run the glue stick around the outside edge of the pop-up page). This now becomes the cover and strengthens the card. Decorate.
