Origami Paper Cranes

The other day I read Yoko's Paper Cranes by Rosemary Wells to my boys. After we read the book my five year old wanted us to try to make an Origami paper crane. We tried our hardest to follow along with the directions in the book, but could only get so far. Yesterday, my son asked if we could try another attempt. So visual Mama went online and we started watching some videos about folding Origami cranes. We made many feeble attempts to follow along but got confused after awhile. Two videos really stuck out for me, and I am feeling confident that we will eventually figure it out.

This video is just kind of fun to watch and is awe inspiring:



I really loved how well this girl explains each step. She is such a great teacher and you can really hear her passion for Origami!



I hope that you all have better luck than we did on our first attempts. If you have any tips to share please pass them along!
