Print out sheet.
Fold in half the long way.
Fold in half so that page 1 and 2 are on the front side, and 3 and 4 are on the back side.
Fold ONLY the top layer so that the left edge exactly meets the right edge. This forms the front cover. Flip it over and fold the back side to meet the opposite edge, too. The booklet is complete.
View from the top, once the booklet is folded.
Optional: Cut the booklet into an egg shape.
Note: Children will not have the strength to cut this many layers at once, so either fold and cut them before class, or have lots of helpers with good pairs of scissors on hand during the class.
The booklet starts on one side, then continues on the back. Another option would be to cut the printed sheet in half instead of folding it in half. Then tape the 2 strips end to end, and accordion fold the booklet pages all the way to the end.
Be careful to NOT cut the top and sides--leave these as folds, or none of the pages will be attached--each page will be separate. If this does happen, just staple the pages together for that booklet, and be more careful about cutting out the next one!
