A GIFT FROM THE HEART

Here is a special Valentine your children can make for their families.  The directions are the same as those for a flip book.  

Make a hotdog fold.  (Fold in half.)

Make a hamburger fold.  (Fold in fourths.)

Make a juice box.  (Fold in eighths.)

Open in half.  Tear down each crease to the middle fold.

Fold in half to make four flips.

SOME GIFTS ARE ROUND.
SOME GIFTS ARE TALL.
SOME GIFTS ARE LARGE.
SOME GIFTS ARE SMALL.
BUT A GIFT FROM THE HEART IS THE BEST GIFT OF ALL!
You can also use the flip book for these activities:
         life cycle of a butterfly
         story elements
         letters and pictures that begin with the sound
         opposites
         before and after
         mother and baby animals
         sequence of your day
         sets and numerals
         riddles or questions and answers
         four seasons
         animals and their homes
         spelling word – picture or definition
                          
Hint!   Use longer paper and more strips to make a book about the five senses, days of the week, planets, etc.
