Here you can see a Card Man lifting and lowering his arms – or doing his morning exercises. 
Download the Printed Card from our website. You will need tape, scale, a piece of straw and broomstick. Draw on a thick card sheet 6-cm wide, 10-cm tall. First fold the crease in the middle, the then the lower and upper lines. The gap between the lines is crucial. It should be 
1-cm. After folding upturn the card and observe the motion. Double fold and make a vertical cut on the mid-line. Fold left part forwards, and the right part backwards. See the motion once again. Then cut the rectangles for the two hands. Try the toy once again. Now upturn and tape a piece of straw along the mid-rib of the toy. Take a thin broom stick and weave it through the straw. Tape the upper end of the stick. 
Finally tape the left arm at the shoulder as shown. Now the toy is ready to play with. Hold it card toy with one hand and move the stick up-down with the other to make the Card Man exercise his hands. This is a simple and delightful toy to make and gift to your friends.
