Pop Ups

I have very talented students who participate in many activities, one of which is band.  There was a band field trip which left me with very small 5th grade classes one day and so I introduced the remaining students to one of my favorite things ever...pop up cards!  Who wants a plain old greeting card when you can have a handmade one that pops out at you!

Anyway, the students didn't have to just make cards, they could make whatever they wanted.  I showed them a few simple techniques to get various types of pop ups and let their imaginations (and hands) go wild!  These are a few of the finished ones they made
