Materials:

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

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 pupils can write their own on a piece of paper, then cut that out).
