Refer to the ePresentation for comprehensive Foldables® instruction.
DAY 3 Four-Door Shutterfold
Materials: one sheet of 8.5 × 11 paper per
student, scissors
1. Begin as if you were going to
fold a paper hamburger style,
but instead of creasing the paper
in the middle, just make a small
pinch to mark the midpoint.
2. Fold the outside edges of
the paper in to the midpoint,
forming two equal “doors.”
3. Fold the entire booklet
hamburger style.
4. Cut along the newest fold on
the two front flaps to make four
doors.
DAY 1 Bound Book (Project Portfolio)
Materials: four sheets of 11 × 17 paper and one manila
envelope per student, scissors, glue sticks
1. Fold four sheets of paper
separately like hamburgers.
Stack the papers on top of
each other.
2. Mark all pages along the folded
edge 1” from the outer edges.
3. On three of the sheets, cut in
along the fold 1” from the edge
to the marked spots.
4. On the fourth sheet, start at
one of the marked spots, and
cut the fold (or “shave it off”)
between the two marks.
5. Take the cut sheets from Step
3, unfold them, and roll them
like a burrito. The cuts should
be in the center of the burrito.
Place the burrito through the
cut in the fourth sheet, and
open the burrito, aligning the
cuts at the fold.
6. Fold the bound pages in
half to form a book.
7. Fold a manila envelope like
a hamburger. Cut below the
fold to create a triangular or
rounded pocket.
8. Attach to the inside back cover
with the opening facing the fold
with the right edge hanging
off ¼”.
48 PLAN A PLAYGROUND
DAY 2 Multi-Tab
Materials: one sheet of 8.5 × 11 paper per
student, scissors
1. Fold one piece of paper in half
like a hotdog.
2. Then fold again like
a hamburger.
3. Fold (hamburger direction) two
more times so that it is divided
into eight rows when opened up
flat.
4. Refold like a hotdog.
5. On the front side of the paper
(with the fold to the top), cut
each of the eight rows to the top
fold. Do not cut the back side of
the paper.
