How to make a Deep-Sea Diary
1. Lay out an A2 sheet of paper landscape orientation. (You can just as easily use A3 but this will result in a smaller book.)2. Fold in half horizontally3. Fold in half vertically and then in half again to create an eight-panel grid on the paper4. Fold back along the horizontal line. With a craft knife, carefully cut along the fold the length of just the middle two sections of your grid.5. Flatten the paper along the fold and push in each end. This will cause the ‘cut’ to open up into a rhomboid.6. Push further until the paper reforms itself into a four-page booklet.
You can glue the backs of pages together to make the book sturdier but you now have a four-page book with front and rear covers.
1 2. 3.
4. 5 6.
7. You now have three interior spreads plus the rear cover on which children can write their Deep-Sea Diaries8. Children can decorate the front cover with pictures of sea creatures, submarines, deep-sea divers etc.
