Bio Activities Designs

Supplies: 2 pieces of paper (2 different colors of card-stock works great)
Glue or paste
Scissors, crayons or markers

1. Fold a piece of paper in half.  Cut a line about 2 inches long around the middle of the crease

2. Fold back each of the flaps to make 2 triangles

3. Flatten card and open it up like a v.

4. Push the triangles up from behind and fold card in half again.  The folds are now inside the card.

5. With the card closed, push down on the folds to make them well-creased.  When opened, you have a pop-up beak.

6. Fold another piece of paper in half (a different color looks great). Glue this new card to the outside of our pop-up card.  Don't glue near the beak area or it won't open.  Let the glue dry.

7. Draw a bird around the beak and finish decorating your card.  For variations, don't cut a straight line --- cut a way a line or a zig-zag for a scary jagged beak.  You can even make more than one beak for 2 birds.
