Unfolding Get-Well Cards

Is there someone in your family who is ill? Is there a neighbor who needs some cheering up? Get the family involved in making special get-well cards. Unfolding cards is one example.

You will need:

• long sheets of drawing paper (approximately 18 inches long)
• crayons, markers
• scissors

1. Cut a length of paper, approximately 6” x 18”.
2. Fold the paper in half and then fold it in half again.
3. Open the paper. You will have four sections.
4. Draw a picture and write a message that extends across all four sections of the paper.
5. When finished, refold the paper, starting at the right side.
6. Write a get-well message on the top cover. Then send or deliver your card.
7. To read the message, the recipient will unfold each section, one at a time.
