Dinosaur Pop-Up Report

The teacher will die-cut the materials for student use prior to the lesson.

1. Fold an 8 1/2" x 11" or 9" x 12" sheet of construction paper in half. 
2. Cut two slits in the center of the fold 1" long and about 1" apart (Figure A) to make a tab.
3. Fold up the tab, and crease (Figure B). Unfold the tab, and pop the tab from the back for a pop-up page (Figure C).
4. Die-cut the dinosaurs using cardstock or construction paper. Decorate and add shading with crayons, markers, pens or paper layers.
5. Attach each decorated dinosaur to a tab, and adhere lined paper under the tab (Figure D).
6. Place adhesive on the back of the first pop-up page, and adhere to the front of the second page (Figure E).
7. Continue attaching each page to the next page.
8. Cut and attach a piece of copy paper wide enough to cover the notches on the top of the pages. Add detail with patterned paper (Figure F & Main Photo).
9. When students have completed their report, they can share their discoveries with their classmates.
