Motivation
Show and discuss different styles and types of pop-ups. Robert Sabuda’s pop-up books are great for this. Demonstrate pop-up procedures. Discuss possible subjects for a pop-up face or creature.
Procedures
Fold 9 x 12 paper in half like a book. Cut a horizontal line starting at the middle on the fold about halfway to the unfolded sides of the paper. Fold each cut back to make a 45 degree angle. Fold each cut the opposite way and then push out the "mouth."
