After the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival is coming. Holding a small lantern festival at school will make the atmosphere very cheerful. Besides solve riddles on the lanterns and eating Yuanxiao, we can also let children make their own lanterns, which not only exercises their hands-on ability, but also deepens their impression of festivals.

Tools/raw materials

more

A4 paper (red or colored hard paper is recommended for better effect), scissors and double-sided tape.

Methods/steps

4/5 Step by step reading

First, fold the paper in half.

2/5

Cut a uniform strip along the crease with scissors, and pay attention to leave the same distance at the opening of the paper (the end corresponding to the crease) (this part must not be cut open). In order to achieve the effect of equal distance, you can fold it neatly before cutting it.

3/5

Cut and spread, and stick double-sided tape on one side.

4/5

Tear off the double-sided tape and stick the other side to this side with double-sided tape.

5/5

Because the hardness of A4 paper can't reach, the lanterns made are a little soft. The last two pictures are made of cardboard, and the children draw their own patterns. Isn't it much better?

Look at the remaining 2 pictures.

Matters needing attention

At the top and bottom of lanterns, children can also decorate them with colorful strokes and then lift them with lines.
