Triple Shape Flag Book - Online - 2026WKSP-06-28

ONLINE: Triple Shape Flag Book with Kit Davey

This unusual variation of the flag book consists of three different shapes that pass through each other when the book is extended.  

It’s helpful to use a variety of colours to create a more dramatic effect.
