Make Your Own 3-D POP-UP Paper Cranes! Huge CRANIACS! Thanks to their classmate Amy, students at Harriett Todd P.S. in Orillia, Ontario* are making 3-D cranes as part of an integrated study of the Whooping crane migration. Try It! Here are Amy's simple step-by-step directions: Step 1: Take two pieces of white paper or card stock. Fold each one in half. Step 2: Nest the two sheets of paper together. Put the folded edge closest to you and draw a crane silhouette on the outside of the folded paper with the base of the bird along the fold. Step 3: Keeping the papers together, cut out the crane. Do not cut along the folded edge. Step 4: Draw the beak, eye, neck and head colouring on both sides of each crane silhouette. Step 5: Make a base. With the cutouts nested into one another, glue or tape the crane silhouettes to the base. Amy with her pop-up crane and her Journey North t-shirt!
