Why

Surprise! Whether it's a witch, black cat, or ghost, these cards will be pop-ular with family and friends.

Steps

  1. 1. Fold construction paper to form your card. Make creative folds to add to the mystery. Decorate the front with a Halloween theme using Crayola® Colored Pencils.
  2. 2. On white paper, draw and color a witch or other Halloween character. Cut it out with Crayola Scissors.
  3. 3. Cut a strip of paper about as long and wide as your finger. Fold it back and forth to make accordion pleats. With a Crayola Glue Stick, attach the strip to the back of the witch and the inside of your card. Add a Halloween greeting.

- Alexia T., family child care provider.

"Our troop made pop-up cards for families in the local homeless shelter. The surprise cards brought smiles to everyone's faces."
- Drew N., scout leader.
