"Today I am going to show you how to make a reversible picture. What a reversible picture is is that it is a two-sided picture. There are two individual pictures. And there is going to be folds running down the paper from top to bottom. Depending on which direction the folds go, as you move the direction of the folds, the picture actually changes and it will become more clear as we go along. So, let me just show you the supplies that we are going to need to make our reversible picture. We are going to need two pieces of paper, and they should be the same color. Those are going to be the two pieces of paper that are images, the two separate images are going to be drawn on. And we are also going to need a piece of white, plain paper that is going to go across the back, and we are going scissors, a pencil, and a lot of different colored markers to decorate our picture. Then we are going to be using some glue and masking tape that will help put the paper together. So, the supplies are really easy and the effect, once the project is done, the special effect that it has as the picture changes, is really neat. Kids will really enjoy doing this project. So that is really all that you need to make your reversible picture."
