Two cuts along the fold and a step grows inside the card, with a cat, a rocket or grandma's cake standing on it. Open it and the figure jumps out, close it and it hides again.

What you need

  • Two sheets of paper
  • Safe scissors
  • Glue or tape
  • Coloured pencils

How to play

  1. Fold a sheet of paper in half like a book.
  2. Cut two short parallel slits into the folded edge, about three fingers apart.
  3. Push the strip between the slits inwards so it becomes a step.
  4. Draw a figure, cut it out and glue it to the front of the step.
  5. Glue the card inside a second folded sheet so the cuts do not show.
  6. Write the greeting and hide the card under somebody's plate.
