[Origami] 27th German Origami Convention Review
Hey there, folders! A week ago the German Origami Convention ended and now I have made a 5 minutes video to show you how it was. We had a great time, several cool foreign folders like Ilan Garibi, Mark Bolitho, Paul Jackson, Mark Kennedy, Beata Kupczak and Tom Crain where there. It was so much fun, inspiring and interesting. Hope I can give you a small overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfbvUuo2udI Best wishes from germany and many folds, Allex
Re: [Origami] Advice for models to teach to kiddos
Dear Dawn, Re suggestions for two action models Here is one suggestion. Kids and I like the 'kissing lips' action model, although for that age I would suggest calling it 'talking mouth' to avoid the yuk response. It's all right isosceles triangles (*not* diaper fold), with one scalene triangle (this sentence is for you, Mark Kennedy). I have folded it with classes of gr. 4 and gr. 8 students (in under 30', with kids helping each other) and both levels liked it. Will send you photos. Hope you're well.

Re: [Origami] Advice for models to teach to kiddos (FWD)
I've been asked to teach origami action models to a class of 20 kids, from 2nd to 5th, for the space of one hour. I will try to bring along a helper if I can. May I have some suggestions for TWO models that many kids of that age range could likely fold in the space of an hour? Thanks in advance! I get a great response from the hopping frog made of green 3x5 cards. It's not an action model, but pipe-cleaner flowers are easy and a great crowd pleaser. Yami's spinner is a good choice, also.
