During our second week of Origami class, we started by watching this video above. It's the story of an Origami Professional. Nothing really exciting other than being able to hear his story and see his work. He talks about how he started folding paper by folding paper Airplanes which was the perfect segway into our main project for the week.
This week we stepped away from true Origami and did more paper folding by making paper airplanes.
I used two different resources. The first was from In the Playroom and included these amazing directions for folding.
The goal was to fold them, fly them, and see which one went the farthest for each student. Once they figured out which one went the farthest, they then had to color it for our display table for presentation night. The others they got to take home.
For the second part of our class, we worked on folding Cootie Catchers.
I thought this idea from Krokotak were really cute to make.
Plus I also supplied this one from Red Ted Art as something extra to do.
