How to make the craft
First you will have to take a DINA-4 size paper of the color you want. Choose a simple way to do the craft. We have chosen a person's body shape for its simplicity. What is important in this craft for the chain to be effective is that the sides remain attached to each other and that it is not cut, that is, the folded paper is left without cutting.
Once we have this clear, it has to be cut as you see in the image and once you have it, you will only have to unfold the paper and see how beautiful the chain has been! As you can see, it is a very easy craft to do. and that the children will be able to do on their own once they have learned the steps to follow.
These types of chains work very well because they can be used for decoration, but also, children can use their imagination to create more shapes of chains. They will only have to think of shapes that can be left uncut on the sides and that when joined, they look good such as hearts, animals, shapes, etc.
