Easy Heart Pop-Up Card

Description
Moderate-difficulty craft requires adult assistance for children with fine motor challenges, particularly cutting parts. This is a basic heart pop-up that you glue inside your card. White paper in approximately 1.5 " folds (alternating a valley fold and mountain fold.) You need a total of 6 folds. Draw a heart half – make sure the “outside” of the heart is on the side that “flaps open” and also that it goes right to the edge – you will need a straight edge there, so the hearts do not fall apart, a bit like a Paper Doll Chain.
Strategies and techniques
In-person. Teletherapy with assistance.
