Peek-A-Boo Surprise Eggs! Pop Up Dinosaur Juniors

Even though the library is in closure but that doesn’t mean the fun has to STOP! We have brought you the exciting craft by Maggy from Red Ted Art  to share it’s call ‘Pop Up Dinosaur Juniors‘. So let’s get started shall we?

Follow These Step by Step Instructions

Pop Up Dinosaurs – Supplies needed

  • printable  << Click here to save or print
  • popsicle sticks
  • scissorsto cut out template
  • glueto glue the paper toy together

How to make your Pop Up Dinosaur Juniors Puppets

Now, cut the one egg shape along the crack into two pieces. The lower part we will glue onto the back of the other egg shape (that is whole). Now here is the call out for attention!!!

Time to GLUE Greg on a Popsicle stick. Make sure to let it dry! I know, I know we dislike waiting, too!ATTENNNNNTION: ONLY put glue on the sides as seen in the picture so that Greg can be moved up and down later on.

When you have added glue put the lower cracked egg shell on top.

When the glue is dry you can slide Greg inside the egg and pull down on the Popsicle until the egg closes completely.

Last but not least add the egg shell “hat” on to Greg with (well yes) glue.

When the glue is dry you can slide Greg inside the egg and pull down on the popsicle until the egg closes completely.

Then SHOUT “peek-a-boo” and make Greg reappear by pushing the popsicle stick upwards.

Aren’t they adorable? Time to guess who is hiding in which egg!!! And once you have hatched your dinosaur juniours… why not create a little story with them?

Pop Up Cat Craft

Even though the library is in closure but that doesn’t mean the fun has to STOP! We have brought you the exciting craft we have found on Easy Peasy and Fun to share it’s call ‘Pop Up Cat Paper Toy‘. So let’s get started shall we?

Get the Cat Pop Up Box Paper Toy Template Here
Click here to save or print –> Cat Pop Up Box Paper Craft Templates

Follow These Step by Step Instructions

 

 

Print out the template for our cat pop up box paper toy (you can grab it at the end of this tutorial).

If you printed our black and white templates, color the cat (and mouse).

Cut out the box template (large long rectangle).

Flip it over and color it.

We are showing you how to make the cat and mouse pop up box and we decided we will be making a grass scenery.

The scene was colored with different shades of green using brush markers to get the grass look.

You can make any scenery you want.

Cut out all other pieces of this crafty project.

Time to fold, fold, fold!

Let’s start with the box. Fold along the dashed lines – score each fold to make it super crisp (we used a craft stick).

Apply glue on the last “flap”, where it says glue.

Stick it on the other designated are for glue.

Take the cat. Apply glue on the cat – on the back side and only on the bottom part of the body, and glue it inside the box (on the M shaped rectangle).

When you press the box the cat should pop up.

Now turn the box around and repeat all steps for the mouse.

Done? Now when you press the box a cat will pop up on top and the mouse will show on bottom.

Pretty cool right?

The other design has a cat poping up from the box (there are even some cool decorations for the box on the design).

Thank you Andreja Vucajnk from Easy Peasy and Fun for such and incredible cute craft for us to have fun with and please go ahead and follow the link https://www.easypeasyandfun.com/ for more amazing craft ideas.
