In honor of Blessed Carlo Acutis’ Feast Day on October 12 – and all those paper laptops my girls have crafted over the years for themselves or their baby dolls – we’ve put together an impossibly simple paper computer craft for your kids to enjoy. Complete with keyboard, “stickers” that represent some of Carlo’s interests, and a “screen” meant to remind you of his most popular accomplishment, all this craft needs is cardstock, a printer, and glue. For extra stability, you can snag an empty box, cut it to size, and glue it in between the layers of cardstock.
PRO TIP
As my daughter modeled the steps to put together our paper computer, she mentioned that to make it even better, you leave the top open and just glue around the edges. Why? So that you have a pocket to slide things in. We decided it’d be just perfect for prayer cards on Carlo, the Eucharist, or our Carlo Acutis Novena.
