Funny Face Flip Book
Supplies:
  • Index cards or paper
  • 3 ring binders
  • Card board
  • Crayons and markers
  • Scissors
  • Hole punch 
To Make:
  1. Cut the cardboard a little bigger than one of the index cards. This piece will be the back of your book.
  2. Cut each index card in 3 equal parts.
  3. Punch a hole in the middle of one end of all your paper pieces with your hole punch. Lay three pieces onto your cardboard so you can punch a coordinating hole into the cardboard. You should have a top, middle and bottom section. Stack your paper pieces into these 3 sections lining up all the holes. Secure each section with a binder ring.
  4. Now the fun part begins. Use your crayons and markers to draw facial features on your paper pieces. In the top section draw eyes, in the middle section draw noses and in the bottom section draw mouths. You can get extra creative by adding details like eyelashes, eyebrows, teeth, tongue, etc.
  5. When you are finished drawing all of your different facial features flip through your funny face flip book to combine different features together to make silly faces!
