Origami Cranes
Being stuck at home for the foreseeable future, and having to find new ways to entertain themselves, some of my kids have taken up doing origami....
"I wonder how they make them?"
"Can you show us how to make these paper cranes?"
"Sure. It just takes some careful folding..."
"...and creasing..."
More Paper
The children were busy making origami cranes, when Aaron came into the room..
"I got a whole new package of paper..."
"...so now you can make a lot more..."
Aaron sat down and asked Holly to show him how to make the cranes....
..while Chloe taught Cookie how to make them...
"It's really pretty easy once you know how...."
Soon both Chloe and Cookie were finished one....
...and both boys had learned to make them too....
Flying Cranes
The kids were so busy folding paper cranes....
..that they soon had a huge pile of them....
"You know..... cranes are supposed to fly...."
"...so we should make a mobile out of them..."
"That sounds like a great idea!"
So Aaron got some string, and climbed up on a chair to hang them up...
"Here's some more..."
"Wow, it looks amazing..."
"It's a whole flock of cranes!"
More Birds...
With the excitement over the success of their mobile, everyone wanted to learn how to make more origami birds...
So they set about making swans....
...as well as folded paper balloons. And soon the floor was full of them....
