About the video: Return to the sea: structure and elements
Overview
“We have reached the end of the book! On this fifth and final page I am going to raise a large sailboat made of garbage. I will start from an asymmetrical V mechanism and I will form the structure with some horizontal and other vertical pieces. In the scene you will see a large boat made of garbage, a ketchup can that will be the hull and some garbage bags as sails. There will also be cans and plastics. This is the end of the story, but if you manage to remove the garbage, Fish will be able to return home and perhaps many more fish and marine animals will be able to live in peace without having to face so many daily dangers that humans put in their way. Play and share this book with the little ones because maybe in a few years they will make the right decisions and they can change the ending of this story! ”

Learn how to create a pop-up book step by step for the little ones to enjoy, from the initial concept to assembling the pieces.

I have placed the hatches because it goes the same on all pages and then I have pasted some sheets. Maybe you use thicker paper and you don't need it. In this case I have filled...”
