We made the above origami flower which I found online. It uses 20 pieces of paper (actually 10 cut in half), so it turns out pretty large. You can find the instructions by googling for "simple 20 unit origami flower."
I'd also picked up a pack of 4 "friendship pin" kits for a dollar at Michaels. There were 2 dragonflies and 2 butterflies. You can find all of those in your garden, right? While I was at my mom's, I sat outside with Alexandra and 3 other kids in the driveway (ages 5, 7, 9 and 10) and we worked until 9 pm when it got too dark and we were getting too bit up. It was a wonderful way to spend a summer evening!
Beautiful flower...yes. I do LOVE how we all come up with different ideas for the same project theme:)
ReplyDeleteYour flower is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog. Seems like everyone wants to come over to play on our zipline. :)
Do you know how much patience I'd have for that flower?
ReplyDeleteNone!
Good job, guys!
These are great handicrafts! Could you please submit this to the CM Blog Carnival for others to see? I think CMers are always on the lookout for easy handicrafts for boys and girls.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.

ReplyDeleteI've been looking for more handicrafts to do-- these look great!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to check out Michael's for these little deals. One of my girls has just started getting interested in crocheting.
