Think 3-D: Make a pop-up book  How you can help at home: In this
activity your child makes a creative book to write a story in.
By Miriam Myers , GreatSchools Staff  This book is fun to make
and will encourage your child's writing and artistic skills.
What you'll need  How to do it  Have your child write a story or
use a story he has already written to transfer to this pop-up
book. You can also have your child write sentences to describe
the pictures he creates on the pages. Younger children can make
one pop-up page and write a word or a sentence to describe the
pop-up image. You can make the pop-up pages ahead of time or
have your child make them with your guidance.  These step-by-
step directions include drawings to help you and your child.  To
make the pages:    1. Fold the construction paper in half
horizontally.   2. In the center of the folded edge cut two
parallel slits about two inches long to make a tab.   3. Open
the paper and gently pull the tab forward.   4. Use a ruler and
a pencil to draw lines
