POP-UP Memory Book for Grades 4-7:
This is a great craft for students to complete as a Yearbook! They create their own Memory Book - a POP-UP Book!
The easiest way to make this book ... just watch the video:
The Memory Book begins with 4 pieces of paper, each 8" x 8". These pieces of paper are folded and then glued together to create a 3D POP-UP Book that sits flat or when expanded, is 8" x 8" x 4" (height).
Includes step-by-step instructions (or just watch the video), graphics and templates needed to create this POP-UP Memory Book.
Requires: Paper (I used regular photocopy paper but light cardstock is recommended), glue, coloring pencils and scissors, a single hole punch and a piece of ribbon.
The POP-UP Memory Book folds flat for students to easily transport home or expands so that students can display it on a shelf at home or on their desk. It is a lot of fun to create.
Students will cherish this POP-UP Book for years!

Get to know your students very quickly with this fun Back to School House & simple writing activity.
There are two versions of this craft - a 5" and a 7".
Included is a template that the students will color, cut and then glue together! It's a great Back to School keepsake. Or, have your students make the School Houses and use them to decorate the classroom. Best of all, it is large enough to hold their writing activity when it is complete.
Made from regular photocopy paper (8 1/2 x 14), all students require are coloring pencils, scissors and glue (glue sticks recommended).
Enjoy and have a great year!
