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.
  1. Make a hotdog fold. (Fold in half.)
  2. Make a hamburger fold. (Fold in fourths.)
  3. Make a juice box. (Fold in eighths.)
  4. Open in half. Tear down each crease to the middle fold.
  5. 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.
