#BlogchatterA2Z, “P”- Papier Mache and Pop up card making ( Two exciting activities for kids)
P

It is week 2 of #BlogchatterA2Z and we had reached on alphabet “P”, and as “P” I am sharing two unique and interesting activities for kids, hoping they will have loads of fun with it.
Pop up card making

Nowadays it is a tradition to celebrate each occasion with card making. And kids love making cards on their own. Handmade cards are more special because they show our love and affection for our dear one. It is the easiest way to explore creativity and imagination power in kids, but if you are bored from routine cards with typical pattern and supplies. Then this is a perfect solution for that. Pop up card making is a great variation for routine card making.
Have you ever been sent a pop-up greeting card? If so, you can probably remember the design of the card, who sent it and on what occasion? A pop- up card is more special and memorable. It’s more than just a card. It is a surprising and amusing gift in its own right. Although pop-up card making requires precision and practices, but the greatest advantage of these cards is they are unique but inexpensive and can be made with routine craft supplies like a pencil, correct paper sheet, and backing sheet.
The book

“Pop-up card making– a book written by
Papier Mache project

Every year, millions of tons of waste paper thrown away. This waste paper can be recycled in
The Book

– Papier- Mache project book is an art book for children written by Marion Elliot. It is a great book to for learning this creative art. Book has two parts, first is an introductory part. In this part basic methods and techniques had explained. Then the book moves on to projects, starting off with simple projects like paper plate and bowl. In second part they had included more complicated projects like jewellery, decorations, photo frame. The best part of book is the great pictures and step by step instructions for each project. General tips and advice are given in the form of tip boxes throughout the book, which is very helpful for beginners.
I had collected these two books from near by library and we are so excited to make more of these two projects in this vacation. did you like these ideas? please share!

I have tried both pop-card making and papier mache art with my elder boy. I wasn’t very satisfied with the result thoug. But it was time well spent with the kids.
