Abstract
This step-by-step video guide is a helpful introduction showing teachers and parents how to make an Easter bunny pop up card with their children. In this activity the children will learn about graphic products and use templates to help them cut out the parts for a homemade Easter card.
This fun STEM challenge is aimed at primary school children.
Follow this step-by-step guide to make your own Easter bunny pop up card:
Step 1 – Safely cut out all the bunny card parts.
Step 2 – Add designs to eggs and the bunny.
Step 3 – Glue grass stand parts to green paper and fold on
the dotted lines. Carefully follow the feint lines to cut the grass slits.
Step 4 – Make the Easter card by gluing a sheet of green paper on the inside of a sheet of card. Fold over.
Step 5 – Place the slot line, marked on the bunny grass part, in the middle of the card, on the folded side, and draw round the slot. Carefully cut two slits into the card.
Step 6 – Fold the flap over to make a crease. Open the card and push the flap through to the inside to make a step.
Step 7 – Make the sky by drawing a wavy line on blue paper. Carefully cut out the shape and glue onto the card.
Step 8 – Glue the bunny grass part to the bunny. Stick the bunny to the flap with glue.
Step 9 – Glue the grass stands and eggs to the card.
Step 10 – Close the card by folding the parts towards the inside.
