Pop Up Tunnel Book

Fourth Grade
When we came back from summer vacation I had the students create a visual tunnel book to tell about their favorite part of summer. People are always the hardest part for students to draw. We took a look at Keith Haring's artwork and went with that. These "books" got a lot of compliments and the students had fun making them too.
Sides: Fold an 8 1/2" x 12 " piece of colored construction paper like an accordion. Try to make sure the folds are straight and even. If there is extra on the last fold that is fine.
Pages: Fold a 8 1/2"x 6" white cardstock paper in half. Cut a rectangle out of the folded side leaving a 1 " boarder on all sides. Unfold. Do this for 3 sheets of cardstock. Leave the last one uncut. Glue the three pages into the first three accordion folds.
Scene: Draw the background on the last sheet that was not cut. Glue this into the last fold. Use the middle sections that you cut out of the white cardstock to draw your people and objects onto. Make your story come to life as you cut and glue each object into place.
