ORIGAMI: The Japanese art of folding paper into decorative shapes and figures.

I've tried teaching myself origami, and I still can't make anything... but my 2nd and 3rd grade  artists (like the boys in the above) have NO problem understanding the steps and making these fantastic paper creations. 
"I made this origami dragon, and I made a fish. With the fish, I put some stripes to plan out where the glitter was going to go. Then I went over the glitter center, and I poured on some glitter. With the dragon I put a little strip of glue, and I sprinkled some more glitter on it. This is the first time I ever made origami, but I have to say the hardest part is using the glitter and glue because sometimes it just drips down."

"Dylan made this for me because I didn't know how to do it... but I put on the eyes and the glitter. Dylan is going to teach me how to do it next time."
