How to Make Printable Christmas Cards

We know you have a lot of activities to complete at the end of the year, so our teacher team has made this printable teaching resource simple to use for both you and your students! Here’s how to make a pop-up card with your students.

Materials:

• Pop-up card template
• Glue
• Crayons or coloured pencils
• Scissors
• Red or green coloured card

Instructions:

1. Download and print your card template.
2. Decorate the background and the different items of the card.
3. Cut out the template, and fold along the middle line.
4. Carefully cut along the two dotted lines, and then fold the card the other way, creating two right angles that “pop up” when the card opens.
5. Cut out the house and chimney and one of the pre-printed greetings (or students can write their own on a piece of paper, then cut that out).
6. Glue the house on the bottom pop-out section and the chimney on the top pop-out section.

You may like to glue your card to a colourful piece of card to add a bit of strength and make the ‘pop’ more fun!
