This is our little version of a jack-in-the-box. But instead of a clown jumping out, it's you!
Materials
Yogurt container or other plastic container with lid
2 pieces of construction paper of equal size cut into 1-inch wide strips
Printed photo of kid's face
Glue sticks
Scissors
Instructions
Make a paper accordion spring: overlap 2 paper strips at the ends to form an L shape. Glue or tape together. Tightly fold the bottom strip over the top strip. Repeat with the opposite strip. Continue doing this until the length of the strips are folded. Tape or glue the other strips onto the folded strips when needed. Glue the final flaps together. You now have a paper spring.
Glue one end of the spring inside cup.
Cut out and glue the picture of the kid’s face to the other end and place lid on top. When opened, the face springs out at you.
