Activity
Create a a Pop-Up Book about Native Florida Species

Materials
· Multi-Colored Papers
· Colored Pencils
· Scissors
· Ruler
· Glue Stick
· Clear Tape

Steps
1-Take the 20 cm x 20 cm pieces of paper and fold both in half neatly and
accurately. 
2- On one of the sheets, mark two points: 5 cm up and 5 cm down from the
center of the fold. 
3 - On the same sheet, mark two more points: 5 cm right and 5 cm left
of the center of the fold. 
4 - Draw diagonal lines connecting all four points. 
5 - Fold the paper together and use scissors to cut along the center of the diamond. 
6 - Cut from the center point out toward the point where the diagonal lines connect. 
7 - Use the back of the scissors to score the marked lines, and fold along the scored lines. 
     When the finished work is opened, the mouth will open. 
8 - Glue a sheet with the mouth to the other sheet of paper. 
     Avoid gluing the mouth to be sure it will pop open.
