SUPPLIES AND TOOLS:
• 6-inch-by-6-inch Square paper *
• 4-inch-by-4-inch White Cardstock – Panda Face
• 3-inch-by-3-inch Black Cardstock – Panda eyes, ears
• 1/4-inch Double Sided Tape • Pencil for tracing
• Quarter (coin) or 1-inch circle
punch
• Scissors
• Paper trimmer
*NOTE: The base of the book- mark is folded the same way as the origami heart bookmark.
You can use any size of square paper; your heart will just be larger or smaller. Using lighter weight paper like ori- gami, gift wrap or copy paper makes it easier to fold. You can use thicker weights like card- stock or construction paper. The thicker paper will just be a little harder to crease and fold.
Dr. Seuss is a natural sym- bol of reading since most people started their reading journey with his books and can often recite their favorite verses. Which one is your fa- vorite? Green Eggs and Ham?
