There are lots of different directions you could take this project. We added a pocket on the back for holding a written story that we added later. See a few of our student examples below!For a convenient step-by-step pdf of this lesson, visit my TPT Store |

[…] this school year, I came across a tunnel book* on Pinterest that caught my attention. I pinned it thinking I have to do something like it with my students. […]
Nancie Kay says
These are GREAT – thanks for sharing…I could see this as a collaboration between art teachers and classroom teachers.
Jacquelien says
The books look great, students must be so proud of themselves!
JennyKay says
These are fantastic! They look like alot of work, but agree with Nancie Kay that this is a great cross curricular activity.
TeachKidsArt says
I know these look complicated, but once you’ve made one it’s really not that difficult. And yes, the kids LOVE them!!! :)

I love making tunnel books- I've used Shel Silverstein's, “What's in the Sack?” poem as a starting off point, making a tunnel book as to “what's in a sack…”, and I have a couple of tunnel books, “Dancing Skeletons” and “La Grande Jatte” that make great references!

LOVE THIS IDEA! I am organizing a summer reading group where moms each take a week of hosting kids in their home and do activities around a favorite children's book. I am sure to use this idea when it's my turn to host! Thanks for the super site!

I am sharing this idea on my blog (giving you credit)as an activity to go along with a book. The Title of the book and author will be on the front, then characters,plot and setting will be displayed on each “page”. I'll be sharing this idea on air too. Email me if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks for your great ideas!

My daughter saw this and wanted to create her own tunnel book IMMEDIATELY! What a great post. Thanks for sharing it! Katja
TeachKidsArt says
Katja, I'm glad your daughter was inspired! Have fun!!
Katja says
It's done ! And really not difficult even for my six year old daughter. Tomorow, she wants do “at least three” other tunnel books… A new passion is born !
Theresa says
Great activity! Found that the rectangle die cut at school is a great opening size for my students with small motor issues!
Cheryl Trowbridge says
A die-cut is a great idea, Theresa! Sometimes one less step makes a big difference!
Jennie says
This is a fabulous idea, but I would love to see step-by-step pictures.
Cheryl Trowbridge says
I agree completely, Jennie! I have a tutorial for this project with step-by-step photos on my Teachers Pay Teachers store: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Haiku-Tunnel-Books-1192779
Keli says
Since I don’t have any postcards, I found some nature pics online to photo print at Walmart. Since I have 75 students, $.09 per 4×6 print isn’t too bad! :)
Cheryl Trowbridge says
Great idea, Keli! Thanks for sharing that!!
