Pancake Day | Pull Down Craft

English Craft Activity

Printable PDF worksheet

This Pancake Day pull-down craft is a creative and interactive activity where children make a folded design featuring a stack of pancakes. Children fold the worksheet in half and then into fourths so that only the top and bottom sections are visible. When they pull the paper open, the hidden middle sections are revealed, creating a simple but exciting moving effect.

Inside the hidden sections, children use the space write their own pancake recipe, encouraging them to use key cooking vocabulary and sequence their ideas in a clear order. They can also colour and decorate the pancake design, making each craft personal and unique.

This activity works well as an independent craft task, a pair activity, or a follow-up to a Pancake Day lesson. It is ideal for seasonal February lessons and offers a playful way to combine creativity, writing and cultural learning about Pancake Day.
