| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Colored 3- by 5-inch index cards
Hole punch Scissors Card stock Small metal binder rings | |
| Seasons: Mother's day | |
| Materials: hole punch, index cards | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Fill a number of colored 3- by 5-inch index cards with
poems, drawings, and heartfelt messages. Use a hole punch to make
2 holes at the top of each card, making sure the holes in all the
cards line up. |
| 2. | To prepare a stand (above, right), cut a piece of colorful card stock into a 5- by 10-inch rectangle, then fold the rectangle in half widthwise. Punch 2 holes just below the fold, using one of your punched index cards as a guide. Fold each end of the card stock 2 inches in from the edge, then use scissors to cut a 1-inch slit in the center of each flap. |
| 3. | Stack together all of the cards, placing the folded card stock at the bottom of the pile, then bind together all of the pieces using 2 small metal binder rings (available at office supply stores). To set up the flip-book, just interlock the slits in the flaps of the card stock to create a triangular display stand. |
