We love doing simple origami and this time we’re going to learn how to make a paper boat – a summer favorite! Thank you Andreja Vucajnk from Easy Peasy and Fun again for your endless amazing craft ideas. 

How to Make a Paper Boat

All you need is a sheet of paper letter sized or A4. Regular print paper is perfect for this project. Use as many colors as possible.

Start off with a sheet of paper and fold it in half downwards.

Fold in half again as shown on the second image (you don’t need to make the crease from top to bottom – you just need to mark the center).

Bring corners to the center so that you get a triangle shape with a rectangle under it.

Fold the rectangle part under the triangle upwards (as shown with the purple spots) – flip your origami and do the same on the other side.

Grab the center of the triangle shape as indicated on the first image above with the red spot and pull both sides (holding the red spot) out. Flatten.

You’ll get the shape as shown on the second image above (ignore that red spot in the left bottom corner – I have no idea how that one came there haha).

Fold the front layer up (as shown with the green spot) flip the origami boat to be and do the same with the back layer. You’ll get a triangle shape.

Pull the sides outwards and you’ll again get the square shape as shown on the first image bellow.

Slowly pull the top parts outwards and you have your paper boat!

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?
