Children's craft kit SES Popup cards - Dinosaurs, multicolour, age 5+

SES Popup cards - Dinosaurs is a children's craft kit designed for ages 5 and up that provides materials to create multicolour pop-up dinosaur greeting cards. The kit is supplied in a compact closed box and contains pre-printed card templates, decorative elements, metallic stickers and child-safe scissors. The activity combines simple papercraft techniques with cutting and sticking to produce three-dimensional cards that open with a pop-up effect.

Advantages

This craft kit supports the development of fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and basic scissor control while encouraging creativity and imaginative play. Components are sized and illustrated for young children, and the kit provides a contained, ready-to-use set suitable for both independent and guided crafting. The included metallic stickers add visual contrast and finishing detail without requiring extra materials.

• Home crafting and rainy-day activities for children aged 5+
• Primary school art lessons and small group projects

How to use

Open the box and lay out the templates and accessories on a flat surface. Follow the printed guides on each sheet: cut out the dinosaur shapes and card elements with the enclosed child-safe scissors, fold along the indicated lines and attach the pop-up elements into the card base using the provided adhesive areas or tabs. Finish each card by applying the metallic stickers for decoration. Supervision is recommended for younger children during cutting and assembly.

Usage recommendations

Use a clean, flat workspace and keep extra plain paper or a scrapboard underneath when cutting. Allow children to personalise cards with crayons or markers if desired, but avoid heavy wet glue that can warp the paper. For classroom use, prepare one example card to demonstrate folding and attachment steps before children begin.
