Diagram 3
- simple horizontal fold that will let the card stand up as in Diagram 3;

Diagram 4
- a more robust card figure can be obtained by using wooden strip for a base. Children can stick a short piece of strip to the simple horizontal fold as on Diagram 4;

* or stick a short piece of strip either side of a card piece as shown in Diagram 5;

* another way is to cut a slot into a short strip with a junior hack saw and slide the card into the slot as shown in Diagram 6.
