The Santa Express

All aboard the Santa Express. Build a 3D pop-up card with a secret message inside.

Overview

In this 2-hour holiday adventure, children become festive train conductors on a secret mission. As the Santa Express chugs along, these young paper engineers learn how 3D pop-up cards work. They try three classic moves: the V-fold, the box pop-up and the sliding pull-tab. At the last stop, they check each other's cards, present their own handmade card and reveal the secret message hidden inside.
