We used her origami post to make "tiny" baskets (and also a couple of boats) and then used them for Alex's huge collection of Littlest Pet Shop toys. I'm sure Alex spent over an hour making these little boxes. I made 6 boxes and Alex made TEN!!! It was just a lot of fun and something we both enjoyed. (The actual link for the tutorial to make the baskets is at oragami-instructions.com.)
we did that too!!! that was my first 'tiny' idea (stolen from filth wizardry) but my 8 year old got frustrated when her boxes didnt work out perfect.. I made 3 boxes for them, but because they didnt want to make them, i thought of something else...
ReplyDeleteactually I was going to use them for this weeks challenge of container :)
yours turned out great.. too cute :)
What a great use for those little origami boxes! My daughter loves origami; her creations are all over our house and I'm never sure what to do with them.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I was considering making something like this for "container" week, too, but we veered off in a different direction.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on Filth Wizardry -- we'll have to check it out!
And she probably did not even realize she was exploring some of the properties of geometry! What fun.
ReplyDeleteThese look great! I'll have to try making them sometime.
ReplyDeleteMy son loves origami and has made tons of simple and intricate patterns in all sizes.

How cute! My girls love Littlest Petshop toys. This would be a great use for those boxes in our house.
