Pop-up books!

I feel so honoured that Kristin asked me to fill in for her this week! As you all know she is one creative gal, I'll do my best!

What kid doesn't love a pop-up book or books with lift-the-flaps? I thought it would be fun to try making our own.

Here is a quick picture tutorial:
Fold paper and cut 2 slits where you want your 'pop-up' (I made 2 pop-ups)
Fold them toward the inside of the fold, like so:

I added a cover page:

Punch holes and add some string to bind the book together:

Make you 'pop-up' pictures on a seperate paper, cut out and glue! Then write your story! (here is ours, I only helped draw the oven and write her story for her)



I think we will try this to make our next birthday card too.
