Baby has been loving opening anything and everything! So I thought it would be fun to create little animals that would pop-out when my little opened a little box. He definitely enjoyed opening the boxes and seeing the animal inside!
Here’s how I did it.
For this activity, you’ll need:
Have you ever made pop-outs or tried this activity? Would love to hear about it if you have in the comments below!
1. Gather supplies
For this activity, you’ll need:
- a box or two with a lid that opens and shuts. I used two cute stationery boxes we had left from baby shower thank you cards.
- paper
- pencil/pen
- scissors
- tape
2. Draw the animals
I am an absolutely terrible drawer so I’ll tell you my secret! There are a ton of drawing videos on YouTube that will walk you through how to draw cute animals! I chose these 2 videos and used a pencil. My drawings came out alright. Just don’t look too closely at the lines!
You could also color in the animal if you wanted!
3. Create the pop-out
I did this by cutting out a strip of paper for each box. I then folded the paper in half and then folded a tiny bit from the edge at each end of the strip of paper. I then attached one of the folded edge bits to the top of the box and the other folded edge bit to the bottom of the box using tape.
4. Attach the animal to the pop-out
I cut the animals out of the paper in rectangles and then taped them onto the pop-out.
5. Play Time!
Let baby open and close the box! My baby loved seeing what was inside the boxes. He did also want to rip the pop-out bit out! 😂 And understandably so! It was very fun to watch him play with it!
