Happy New Year!! I know it's kinda late but you all should be kinda used to that by now just kidding. But I hope everyone had a great year and a great new years celebration. It wouldn't be right to start this new year off without something new to craft would it? No! Of course not. So check below Body Flipbook |

Steps
| 1. | Print out 3 or more copies of this body flipbook template. | |||
| 2. | Use crayons, colored pencils or markers to draw a character on each body template. You can make a boy or girl, or create interesting people such as a clown, cowboy, princess, policeman, astronaut, hula dancer, scuba diver or ballerina. You can even draw your favorite cartoon character, a scary monster, or your own imaginary creation. | |||
| 3. | Cut each body picture along the 2 horizontal dotted lines. Remember to stop cutting once you reach the vertical line margin. | |||
| 4. | Gather the pages together. You may add colored paper as a front and back cover. | |||
| 5. | Staple the pages together. | |||
| 6. | You can decorate the front cover by drawing or coloring on it. You may put your name on it or add some stickers. | |||
| 7. | Play with the body flip book you've just made. Mix and match the body parts by turning the upper, middle and bottom flaps of each page. The odd mix of body parts can create new and funny characters. By combining a cowboy's head, a clown's torso and a swimmer's legs, I've come up with a "swimming cowboy clown"! | |||
| 8. | A princess' head, a clown's torso, and a hula dancer's body makes a "hula dancing clown princess". | |||
