When you were in school did you learn how to fold paper cranes? We did, but I'm sure I don't remember how any more. I think it's time to brush up on my skills -- these delicate bird forms add such simple elegance to a space with just a few folds of paper.


Also, with all that has happened in Japan lately it would be lovely to have a crane making party with wee ones to raise funds. I love hearing little stories about children getting involved in big issues, I think getting involved in these ways can give kids a sense of empowerment at times where they may otherwise feel helpless.
Have your kiddos been getting into the origami already? And would you fancy cranes or paper mobiles in your wee one's space?
This is such a sweet idea for a mobile. And what a great fundraiser idea!
ReplyDeleteHi Bron,
ReplyDeleteOn my way to bed, saw your post and had to answer,at my daughter her school they learned how to make origami birds and sold them as a donation for the Japan disaster. I think it is a great way of helping a good cause and being creative! She made me 3 yesterday, now I need to know how to make them.
Off to bed now, night night!

I love that you posted this today! I just saw this from Carter's here in the states...
ReplyDelete"For every crane you make, we will send an article of clothing to the children of Japan."

They even have instructions on how to make them for those like me who don't know!
I set up a project called 1000 cranes/1 wish last month. Initially it was created to grant a wish for our city of Christchurch, New Zealand which was hit by a destructive earthquake last month and flattened our city centre but it's now extended to include northern Japan after the devastation of the tsunami. If anyone would like to contribute, I would love to receive your cranes. You can find more info here: http://lilmagoolie.com/2011/03/17/1000-cranes-1-wish/

ReplyDeleteYou need to make sure that you simply pay your entire installments promptly payday loans online for this, you'll want to check with the bank to find out who include the panel engineers and panel lawyers.
