Daughter Loves It!!!

My 10 year old daughter LOVES this book. She has made many sweet cards for her friends and sometimes I even get one ;0)

Great for middle school kids!

I am always look for ways to intergrate Art into my 7th Grade English classes. We have a unit of making non-fiction books. This is a GREAT way to boost kids' creativity as they look for ways to illustrate their books. The instructions are easy to follow and require almost no explaining by me.

More advanced pop-up card ideas-still easy to do

This is the second book on the same subject. This one teaches you more ideas for pop-up cards. Also shows you how you can make GIANT pop-ups that can be used for playing in and around-sort of a scene for kids to build around. Again written for children but a good book for beginners in making pop-ups.
