Card Commotion!

January 9, 2015 By: Amycomment

This is a simple activity that takes very little preparation! Tell your family it is time for “Card Commotion!” Immediately, they are intrigued…

  • First, you make a card for someone to send in the mail.
  • Second, you play your favorite card game as a family.

Pop-up card idea: First, fold your paper in half and make sure it is going to fit into the envelope. Then cut two equal slits on the folded side about 1/4 of the way in and about an inch apart.1

Fold the cut piece to the inside and press a crease. Repeat this three or so times in different places on the fold. Your card may look like this.2

Then create figures to be on the pop-ups. Be careful not to make them too tall. Glue on the figures. Let them dry completely before you put them in the envelope. (Stickers also work well.)pop up card

You have created a card that will bring a smile to an unsuspecting grandparent or friend! My kids love to make these cards. This would be a great Sunday activity.

Here are some examples:
