How it works

How It Works

Finished box: about 5.4 x 7.2 cm, small enough for a pocket. A sweet screen-free activity for ages 5+, classrooms, party favours and little gifts.

Print on 200-250 gsm cardstock at 100 % / Actual size (not "fit to page")
Cut out the pieces and score the dashed lines
Glue the pillow and blanket pocket on the flat tray, then fold up the bed
Fold the cover into a tube and slide the bed in
Tuck the kitten into the blanket pocket, slide a toy into its paws (a grown-up cuts the small paw slit), flip it over for good morning!
