Folding Guides

Sadako folded the classic origami crane. Because there was a paper shortage in Japan after the war, she folded every crane with paper no bigger than about 3″ (around 8 cm) square! Give your students an extra challenge by offering tiny squares of paper. For an easier project, consider folding doves or hearts. For some added fun, we’ve included a flapping wing crane instruction guide as well.
