Giant Origami Crane on Fence

An origami crane has landed in my front yard! She looks absolutely gorgeous and has flowers all over her. The bird told me she was on her way to the Randwick Children's Hospital to be part of the exhibition 'Folding with Love' by Midori Furze & Mayu Kataoka!

There is still some time left to fold origami cranes for the project and if you are part of a club or like to fold with your class - please do so! Maybe you can even make a bigger crane than the one I spotted on the fence! Good luck with it! It's lots of fun :-)

You can take a gigantic piece of paper and fold it. Or you can add lots of small drawings together.Maybe you can draw your face with all the children from your class and step 2 glue them into a large sheet. Or you can collect pieces of fabric and make a textile origami bird. So much options!

Good luck!
