In celebration of Valentine's Day next week, the kids made cards. We spiced things up a bit and made pop-up cards. They were incredibly simple to make. We had a lot of fun pretending to be surprised every time we opened one up.
 |
| Start with a strip of paper. |
 |
| Fold it in half horizontally and cut half a heart along the fold. |
 |
| Fold the open ends in toward the center fold. |
 |
| Glue the end flaps inside the card, so that the heart protrudes forward. |
 |
| Voila! |
 |
| The beginnings of a disaster. |
 |
| He made the cutest surprise behind the heart. |
 |
| Alyssa kept gluing, gluing, gluing. |
 |
| And gluing. |
 |
| Jake drew a snow scene, complete with a snowball fight. |
 |
| Aren't they cute? |
Jake informed me that they're not real valentines because they're not heart-shaped. Guess what we'll be doing tomorrow.
They did a real good job making them and were so excited to give them to us and show us how they worked.
