Origami Fun

Hollie is here staying with us for two weeks for part of her summer break. We have all been looking forward to having her here! Today she spent a good portion of the afternoon learning how to make various origami items.

This first picture shows her with a bird she made, and you can actually make its wings flap by pulling the tail. Pretty cool, huh?

Here she is with a flower she folded. Isn't it cute?
And here's a little collection of things she folded...two birds, one flower and one lotus flower that was actually folded out of a napkin. She went online & researched how to fold them and watched instructional videos about them. I'm really proud of her because it took a lot of time and patience to figure out how to do them. I think they turned out great!
