Bring creativity to life in your classroom with this engaging Paper Sculpture Resource Pack. Perfect for Key Stage 2, this downloadable pack equips teachers with everything they need to introduce pupils to the exciting world of paper sculpture.
The pack includes a step-by-step teaching PowerPoint, paper sculpture activity cards and a planning grid to help children develop their ideas. Teacher notes guide you through each stage, making it easy to deliver high-quality lessons whether you’re running a one-off art session or building a longer scheme of work.
Pupils will explore a range of hands-on techniques, from curling, folding and cutting to combining shapes into three-dimensional forms. The activities encourage experimentation while embedding key skills such as planning, design, and evaluation. Children are challenged to recreate both natural and man-made objects, before progressing to a creative project in which they design and build their own sculptural self-portrait using mirrors or photographs.
The resource also offers opportunities for cross-curricular links. Photography skills are developed as pupils capture their finished sculptures using a strong light source to add depth and shadow. Extension ideas encourage experimentation with patterned or textured paper, helping pupils refine their artistic techniques.
With clear lesson guidance, differentiated activities, and a focus on creativity, this Paper Sculpture Resource Pack is ideal for teachers looking to enrich their primary art curriculum.
